what’s with this blog?
this is my engineering journal — partly to document what i learn, partly to share with others, and partly to keep myself accountable as i build in public.
you’ll find deep dives into go, apis and distributed systems, the unfiltered journey of building a saas from scratch, the occasional rant about technology choices, and zero content about the oxford comma or capital letters.
why lowercase?
because shift keys are overrated and i’m lazy. also, it looks kinda cool. i think.
