What Marcus Aurelius would have done with a Stack Trace, I’m not sure but he would not have left a comment, he would fix it.

Look, I need to be honest with you: I got pretty sick of reading tens of thousands of lines of StackOverflow and Reddit code and going through Google to describe my issue exactly. I also got very irritated with AI that kept saying “you are absolutely right…”

Don’t get me wrong—those places and tools are absolute lifesavers. They’ve pulled me out of more fires than I can count. But here’s the thing: they’re built for general purposes, for the mythical “above average use case” that never quite matches what you’re actually building. You end up Frankensteining together five different answers, each one solving 70% of your problem, none of them quite 99% right.

I kept thinking: what if I just isolated the problem really really well, build the solution and then share it? And know, here I am.

The Quiet Truth About This

I won’t pretend this blog is going to revolutionize how anyone thinks about code. It’s not. What it is going to do is give you solutions that actually work for specific problems, built by someone who’s tired of the drama and just wants to ship good code.

Some posts will be polished deep-dives into architectural decisions. Others might be me rambling about why a particular approach to caching clicked for me after months of getting it wrong. Both matter because both are part of the practice—the constant cycle of building, breaking, fixing, and learning without worrying whether it fits into someone else’s definition of “best practices.”

I’m building in public here, and I’m inviting you to build alongside me.
