I write essays. I build software and games. I keep bees and skate ramps. These things are more connected than they look.

The essays make a case for taking the harder path — in craft, in work, in the things worth not handing off — when the harder path is the one worth taking. The current arc looks at taste, judgment, and craft in the AI era, because that’s the hard road in front of me now, but the subject is older than AI and will outlast it. The works section has forty-seven technical books across two decades, plus a few trade articles, video courses, and the foreign translations that push the total edition count past eighty. The vault is where the older material lives — including, it turns out, the origin document for everything I’m working on now.
