Engineering Philosophy: Kyunghyun Cho
Kyunghyun Cho let models learn their own control structure -- gated memory in the GRU, soft alignment in attention -- and paired it with honest, reproducible science.
Engineering & CraftWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Engineering Philosophy: Joanna Rutkowska
Joanna Rutkowska built Qubes OS on reasonable paranoia: you cannot make software bug-free, so assume compromise, distrust the infrastructure, and isolate the blast radius.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Adi Shamir
Adi Shamir is the S in RSA and a master cryptanalyst -- he builds secure systems by also learning to break them. Attack to defend, turning clean number theory into mechanism.
Engineering & CraftThe iOS 26 Widget Surface: One App Intent, Many Places
iOS 26 widgets, Control Center controls, and Live Activities are all App Intents surfaces. One intent powers buttons, controls, and Live Activity actions.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Raj Reddy, Technology for the Bottom Billion
Raj Reddy pioneered machines you can talk to -- speech recognition, the blackboard model -- then aimed the most advanced AI at the world's poorest, not its richest.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Margaret Hamilton
Margaret Hamilton coined 'software engineering' and wrote the Apollo flight code that survived the 1202 alarm. Defensive design, error recovery, and no second chance.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Geoffrey Hinton, Conviction Over Fashion
Geoffrey Hinton bet on brain-like neural networks through two AI winters when the field mocked them -- conviction over fashion, intuition over formalism.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Yann LeCun, Learning the World, Openly
Yann LeCun built deep vision on convolution, then bet that real intelligence comes from learning the world unsupervised and publishing it openly -- not bigger LLMs.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Barbara Liskov, The Contract Is the Type
Barbara Liskov made data abstraction a programming primitive: a type is the contract it keeps, and a subtype must honor every promise its supertype makes.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Thompson & Ritchie, Do One Thing Well
Thompson and Ritchie built Unix and C from small sharp tools composed through one universal interface: text streams and pipes. Simplicity over features.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Donald Knuth, Programming Is an Art
Donald Knuth treats programming as an art written to be read by humans. Measure before you cut, optimize only the critical 3%, and prove correctness with craft.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Alan Kay, The Big Idea Is Messaging
Alan Kay invented the future by changing the point of view: computing as a medium for thought, with systems built from objects communicating by messages.
