What I work on:
- Building and shipping APIs & backend services
- Data pipelines, from ingestion to something useful
- CLI tools & automation: small things that make my own life easier
Python gets ideas off the ground. Go is where they go to live. I reach for whatever fits, but I start with what's boring and proven.
Default approach: get the most out of the simplest solution first. Bootstrap, validate, then decide if complexity is actually earned. It usually isn't.
I think code is read more than it's run, and systems are operated by people more than they're executed by machines. That shapes how I write both.
Observability and readability aren't nice-to-haves. Developer convenience compounds quietly.
Running NixOS, Neovim, and a tiling WM. Spent probably too long getting my environment to work the way I think, not the other way around. Don't regret it.
Cautiously watching "move fast" meet AI culture. Both are useful tools on their own. Together, at this pace, I think we're making the worst of both.
