Writing / Field notes

Ideas worked through in public.

Practical notes on software engineering, systems, and building things that hold up.

C++ for Mastery, Rust for Modern Delivery

What C++ has taught me about memory, why Rust works so well with coding agents, and what the recent DHH debate gets right.

The lineage, architecture, engineering trade-offs, and evidence behind my master’s work on the Flexible Sensor Radar Simulator.

How to use coding agents for speed while retaining ownership of architecture, invariants, failure paths, and the code that ships.

A release pipeline needs input identity, explicit states, rollout evidence, rollback rules, and an honest success verdict.

Why traffic, application instances, cache, database work, connections, and queues must be planned as one coupled system.

How to choose service boundaries using resource needs, blast radius, release cadence, and maintenance cost.

A practical way to decide which component may answer authoritatively when databases, caches, queues, and indexes disagree.

Why C remains my favourite language for understanding the machine and building the layers above it.

A practical pattern for moving fragile background processing out of web requests and into durable, observable job systems.

A production log digest pattern where deterministic filtering, grouping, ranking, and evidence capture happen before any model call.

Welcome to my new blog! This is the first post where I test out the MDX, LaTeX features, and the new search filtering system.
