Why I Still Use Make
Why an old tool like make still earns a place in small developer workflows: not as a perfect task runner, but as a compact way to name, document, and repeat local commands.
Software lab notes
Experiments, written after the dust settles.
A workshop for web platforms, automation, AI agents, developer tooling, and the operational decisions that make software easier to run. The same habit that pulls me toward music is here too: listen closely, test the arrangement, keep the parts that work.
Bench notes
From the Lab
Software Entropy and the Ethics of Craft
A reflection inspired by The Pragmatic Programmer, Uncle Bob, and the Agile principle of sustainable development: software quality is a cultural and ethical practice.
AI Agents Are Making Me a Better Programmer
A personal reflection on moving from solitary discovery-based coding to a more explicit, agent-managed way of thinking about software work.
My AI-First Website
Why I chose a minimal Astro site based on Markdown and Git, designed to work well with Codex while staying fast, simple, and almost free to run.
