My Thouhgts

I haven't written code since January. What I build now is the machine that writes it, and I have some bad news about how long that job lasts.

My AI habits were built around "is this worth the money?" My new job runs on "make this work." Turns out the scarcity I designed around was never a property of the technology. The ceiling is higher than I thought. Here we go.

Chrome is fast, secure and compatible. It’s also built by an advertising company. I tried the alternatives and ended up with Zen and Brave. Rooting for Ladybird!

AI agents scrape valuable work for free. Paywalls punish one-time readers. There’s a better option: give the agent a wallet.

314 MEPs voted to kill Chat Control. 276 backed it. It survives until 2028 anyway, because in EU procedure, absence can outweigh votes cast.

The industry decided that simple infrastructure is for beginners and distributed complexity is for serious engineers. I disagree.

On May 28th, 2025, my ISP vanished from the internet - no DNS, no site, no support, nothing. What started as a casual “is your internet working?” turned into 20 hours of ISP outage.

So, you finally made it to Senior Developer? Nice. 🎉 Now, let’s talk about what that actually means – because it’s not just about writing more code all day.

In tech, it’s easy to confuse complexity with progress. Adding layers, abstractions, or extra features can feel like you’re being productive—sometimes even impressive—like you're building something substantial. We’ve all seen codebases and systems that seem to wear their complexity as a badge of
