I am a software engineer in the UK, interested in systems that are fast, economical, and honest about what they cost.
For more than 15 years I have worked across software engineering, data science, and machine learning. This is where I keep notes on that work, the ideas around it, and the industry’s recurring nonsense.
This site is a digital garden rather than a feed: notes are linked, revised, and sometimes left rough at the edges. I am particularly suspicious of techbro culture, MBAs, and breathless claims made about AI and LLMs.
