Thoughts on technology, design, and building things for the web.
I moved years of labs, scans, wearable data and genomics into a single git repository so models can read all of it at once. The consolidation found things no single appointment would have, and it caught me when I stopped following my own plan.
Why I'm chasing a private pilot license, and what my first flight - first takeoff included - actually felt like.
How I built a Soviet-era city builder about Aktau using Claude Code, Cursor, and Suno AI - all without touching the code.
How "Why We Sleep" and "Outlive" changed my approach to health - and why optimizing for longevity feels a lot like maintaining production systems.
Leaving home at 18, learning in public, and building by iteration.
A practical guide to crafting compelling AI-generated songs. From prompt engineering to genre-specific techniques, here's what I've learned after hundreds of generations.
The surprising parallels between producing tracks and shipping code. Lessons from the studio that made me a better engineer.
The unglamorous parts of shipping LLM features: demo vs prod, prompts-as-code, latency, fallbacks, and when not to use AI.
After nine years of TypeScript, these are the patterns I reach for daily. Not academic type theory - practical techniques that make codebases better.
Design systems work when constraints do the heavy lifting: tokens, scales, and patterns that make UI cohesive.
A migration playbook focused on the human side: feature flags, baselines, tests, and team dynamics.
