I write about software engineering, Web3, AI, and career growth in tech.
Security is the thing every engineer says they care about, and the first thing that gets cut the moment a deadline tightens. This is the baseline I refuse to skip and why each item actually earns its
One of the most consequential decisions in any Web3 system is also one of the least discussed honestly: what data lives on-chain, what lives off-chain, and how to build a system that uses both correct

Every few months, a new wave of people discovers "AI" and immediately starts using every term interchangeably. AI. Machine learning. Deep learning. Generative AI. It's all just… AI, right? No. And the
Most architecture mistakes don't happen when you're designing something complex. They happen at the start, when you're just trying to get the thing running, and you default to whatever you know withou
