All of my long-form thoughts on programming, leadership, product design, experiments, and more, collected in chronological order.
Most companies try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to visual design, but for Planetaria we needed to create a brand that would still inspire us 100 years from now when humanity has spread across our entire solar system.
The traditional office is on life support. While some companies cling to the idea of a centralized workspace, the reality is that remote work has fundamentally changed how we think about productivity, collaboration, and even the concept of "workplace culture." I’ve been a remote worker since before it became mainstream, and I can confidently say: the office, as we knew it, is over.
Blazor’s new InteractiveAuto render mode is like that friend who insists they’re "low maintenance" but secretly requires a 12-step skincare routine. It promises the best of both worlds (server-side prerendering + client-side interactivity), but when you add authentication? Chaos ensues.
I’ve been a remote worker since 2017—back when explaining my job required clarifying, “No, I’m not a hacker, but yes, I can work from a beach.” While the world discovered Zoom pants in 2020, I’d already logged two years of nomadic coding from Tokyo cafés, Thai co-working spaces, and even a hammock in Réunion.
If you’ve ever shipped more MVPs in a year than Elon Musk has launched rockets, you know the drill: building a fully distributed microservices architecture for a prototype is like buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox. It’s expensive, overkill, and you’ll spend more time tuning the engine than actually going anywhere.
