Topics
Everything, by subject
The chronological view is the wrong shape for reading. These pages gather everything written on one subject and are revised rather than replaced. Entries file themselves here as they are tagged.
Software architecture
How systems are actually put together — the decisions that are expensive to reverse, and the ones that only look expensive.
AI infrastructure
Treating models, retrieval and context as infrastructure a team shares rather than a tool an individual adopts.
Platform engineering
Building the surfaces other engineers build on, and the operating model that keeps them usable.
Developer tooling
The tools between an engineer and the system — editors, assistants, CLIs, indexes — treated as a designed surface.
Security platforms
Exposure management, findings at scale, and why security data is usually a modelling problem before it is a volume problem.
Modernization
Rebuilding systems that cannot stop — inherited platforms, migrations under load, and change that has to survive contact with customers.
Observability
Measuring running systems — distributions over averages, and instrumenting for the question you will actually ask at 2am.
Engineering process
How teams decide, review, and ship — the parts of engineering that are social systems with technical consequences.
