This side of the site holds both professional and personal writing. The labels matter. Some pieces are about software, solo development, and the operating layer behind the work. Others are memoir pieces and stories that belong to the same life but a different mode.
What solo development actually requires once the demo exists: memory, issues, deploys, credentials, and a working layer that reduces context switching.
Three days after moving into a house north of Columbia, it caught fire. That was only the first problem.
The writing and the prototype work are related, but they are not the same genre. Keeping them on one site makes sense. Labeling them clearly matters just as much.
Software essays explain how I think and work. Memoir pieces explain the longer arc behind that work. Both belong here.
