The Weight of Awareness
Understanding more about the world can reduce simple certainty and wonder, making life feel heavier. The issue is not knowledge, but constant awareness.
Taliwind Drama because of AI
Tailwind Labs lost 80% of revenue and 75% of its engineers while usage exploded. The cause: AI replaced the web as the discovery layer, breaking documentation-driven funnels.
The Discipline of Simple Code
After two decades in software: writing simple code is harder than complex code. Simplicity demands discipline, problem clarity, and focus on what endures.
The Internet is Becoming Synthetic
The Internet was valuable because it connected human knowledge from all around the world, from popular to scientific knowledge. Now it increasingly consists of machine-generated content.
AI Is Coming for Culture
AI is not merely automating tasks — it is restructuring the conditions under which culture is produced, distributed, and valued.

Several months ago, thinking about entropy and debating it with friends, I came with an idea of a poem. I'm no real poet, and AI helped me a little with some words.
Why Real Progress Feels Slower in 2025 Than in 2005
Better tools, faster machines, smarter assistants — yet developers feel more constrained than ever. Here's why the feeling is accurate.
Sacrificing the Inferior Self: Order, Resilience, and the Path to a Functional Society
Suppressing base impulses and subordinating the reactive self to rational structure is not repression — it is the mechanism of both personal resilience and civilisational function.
Entropy, Progress, and the Illusion of Meaning
Exponential tools simulate progress while structural meaning erodes. Movement without direction is drift. This is the geometry of Zero.
Foundational Knowledge in AI-Assisted Development
Examination of why classical computer science fundamentals remain essential for evaluating AI-generated code, recognizing abstraction failures, and making informed architectural decisions despite automated code generation.
About CSS Property "overscroll-behavior"
Just found out about this CSS property. You don't need javascript anymore to block that anoying scroll chaining from a modal to the background page.
Why Thinking Still Matters More Than Tools
Tools amplify thinking but cannot replace it. The capacity to reason precisely remains the irreducible foundation of effective technical work.
