Why I Started This🔗

I've always had a lot of threads running at once—writing code, tinkering with servers, chasing clean infrastructure, fiddling with PCs, learning new languages, and taking notes along the way. This site is a place to put those threads somewhere real. Not a portfolio, not a sales page—just a quiet corner of the internet where I can document what I'm building, what I'm learning, and what broke (and how I fixed it).

I don't want this to read like a victory lap. Most days are a mix of progress and "why did I do that?" detours. That's fine. I'm sharing anyway, because I've learned the most from people who were honest about the messy parts.

What You'll Find Here🔗

• Build logs & experiments. Rust, Go, Python, Postfix/KumoMTA, SQLite/Postgres, little utilities, and the occasional "I made this because I wanted it to exist" project.
• Infra notes. Things I wish I'd found on page one of a search result: configs, trade-offs, caveats, gotchas.
• Hardware rambling. Gentoo compile times, quiet cases, cooling, and "does this upgrade actually help?" kinds of posts.
• AI as a tool. I use AI the way I use a good linter: it helps, it doesn't replace judgment, and I'll say when it pitched in.

What I'm Aiming For🔗

• Clarity over polish. I'll ship posts when they're useful, not when they're perfect. If something changes, I'll update it.
• Useful over viral. If one person finds a snippet that saves an afternoon, that's a win.
• Honesty over performance. Benchmarks include context. Advice includes trade-offs. "It depends" is a valid conclusion.

What This Isn't🔗

• A growth hack, a funnel, or an algorithm play.
• A place where everything magically works on the first try. (It won't.)
• A promise that I'll post on a schedule. I'd rather write when there's something worth saying.

Why Bother?🔗

Because writing things down makes me better at what I do. Because future-me forgets. Because the web is nicer when people share what they build without turning it into a pitch. And because I've benefited from countless posts just like that.

If any of this helps you—great. If you spot something wrong, even better: tell me. Either way, thanks for stopping by. Here's to making things, learning out loud, and leaving a trail for the next person.
