For a long time, the barrier to publishing felt higher than it needed to be. Essays on Substack have their place—they are deliberate, structured, and polished. But daily engineering isn’t neat essays. It’s half-formed hypotheses, terminal experiments, edge cases hit at 11:30 PM, and small architecture pivots that don’t need a 2,000-word essay.

This dev log is an unvarnished scratchpad for the build journey:

  • Raw notes on tools & architecture: What worked, what failed, and why.
  • Micro-decisions: Documenting the why behind architectural choices before I forget them six months later.
  • Experiments in AI-assisted development: What happens when AI pair programming moves from an experimental novelty to daily production muscle memory.

Every post here is just a Markdown file committed to git. Simple by design, fast to write, and right beside the code.
