Every project starts with a question, drifts through experiments, and eventually settles into something stable—or at least instructive. I write about what I’m building, what I’m learning, and the unexpected behaviors that show up along the way.
If you enjoy following the drift from idea to implementation, you’re in the right place.
Update: The Data Was There the Whole Time
There’s a particular kind of psychological erosion that happens when a system behaves inconsistently. Not when it fails loudly — loud failures are merciful. It’s…
