After 10 years in software development, wearing different hats, my approach to building changed in 2025. With AI, I’m finally developing the way I’ve long believed we should. From Typers to Thinkers I’ve genuinely come to believe the real value of my craft lies in architecture: how things are thought out, assembled, structured, and named. I have long considered that the technical part of a project was successful when the code was readable, maintainable, with the right abstractions in the righ

Slow Social Media

Slow social media 16 Sep, 2025 People often assume that I hate social media. And they'd be forgiven for believing that, since I am overtly critical of current social media platforms and the effects they have on individuals and society; and deleted all of my social media accounts back in 2019. However, the underlying concept of social media is something I resonate with: Stay connected with the people you care about.

Google pokes a banana-shaped hole in Musk’s claims of Apple’s bias towards OpenAI

A few weeks ago, a frustrated Elon Musk sued Apple, claiming that the company’s pro-OpenAI bias made it impossible for other AI companies to rise to the top of the App Store.
