Conway's Game of Life
An interactive cellular automaton where simple rules create complex, emergent behavior.

Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Rule 110 Turing Completeness: Interactive 2026 Reference
Use Wolfram for formal notation; use Blake's reference to run Rule 110, test 8 neighborhoods, and see why it is Turing complete.
Design Systems for Startups: How I Built Mine Backwards
I built my design system backwards: tokens first, components never. A CLS bug taught me the cost of skipping tokens. I stopped debating when to invest.
Design & UXBuilding Design Teams That Ship: 12 Years of Evidence
After 12 years leading product design at ZipRecruiter, I learned which team structures ship and which polish endlessly. The patterns surprised me.
Design & UXColor Science for Interfaces: Building a Zero-Color Site
I built a site with no colors — just white on absolute black with four opacity layers. Here's the color science that made the decision work.
Design & UXThe Ralph Loop: How I Run Autonomous AI Agents Overnight
I built an autonomous agent system with stop hooks, spawn budgets, and filesystem memory. Here are the failures and what actually ships code.
AI & TechnologyCompounding Engineering: Why My Codebase Accelerates
Most codebases slow down as they grow. Mine accelerates. 95 hooks, 44 skills, and 14 configs make each feature cheaper than the last.
AI & Technology16 Design Case Studies: Four Patterns I Adopted
After studying 16 products in depth, four cross-cutting patterns changed how I build interfaces. Here's what I learned and what I stole.
Design & UXHamming Codes: How Computers Catch Their Own Mistakes
Every time you use RAM, read a QR code, or receive data from space, Hamming codes fix errors. An interactive exploration of self-correcting math.
Interactive ExplorationsFrom 76 to 100: Achieving a Perfect Lighthouse Score
A FastAPI site went from Lighthouse 76 with 0.493 CLS to perfect 100/100/100/100. The fix: critical CSS extraction, a CSS variable bug, and async loading.
