Why the best engineers think in systems, not features — and how to develop that lens.
03
The Case for Boring Technology
Why PostgreSQL, cron jobs, and monoliths are often the right answer — and when they're not.
04
Applied Math in Production
How linear algebra, probability, and optimization theory show up in everyday backend engineering.
05
Building in Public
What I've learned from sharing work openly — the benefits, the risks, and the surprising second-order effects.
