Engineering 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 & CraftWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Engineering 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 & 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: Demis Hassabis, Solve Intelligence to Solve Everything
Demis Hassabis built general intelligence from first principles -- games as the proving ground, neuroscience as inspiration -- then pointed it at protein folding and won a Nobel.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Werner Vogels
Werner Vogels, Amazon's CTO, built the cloud on one assumption: everything fails all the time. Design for failure, minimize blast radius, and stay available through it.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Satoru Iwata
Satoru Iwata was a programmer who became Nintendo's president without ever stopping being a gamer -- technical mastery in service of the player's joy.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Radia Perlman
Radia Perlman invented the Spanning Tree Protocol and built networks that heal themselves -- loop-free, self-stabilizing, and correct even when nodes lie. Robustness as a first principle.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Rich Hickey, Simple Is Not Easy
Rich Hickey built Clojure and Datomic on one distinction: simple is not easy. Simple means un-braided, one concern per thing; easy just means familiar.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Grace Hopper, Make the Computer Speak Human
Grace Hopper built the first compiler so programs could be written in human language, made latency physical with a nanosecond wire, and fought stale dogma.
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: Edsger Dijkstra, Elegance Is Not Optional
Edsger Dijkstra treated simplicity as the precondition for correctness and proof as superior to testing -- elegance was not optional but the whole discipline.
