Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Jim Keller architected the chips behind AMD's comeback, the iPhone, Tesla's Autopilot and more -- by spending silicon to remove bottlenecks and rethinking from first principles.
Engineering & CraftYann 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 & CraftMargaret Hamilton coined 'software engineering' and wrote the Apollo flight code that survived the 1202 alarm. Defensive design, error recovery, and no second chance.
Engineering & CraftSalvatore Sanfilippo built Redis around one principle -- do less. A small, single-threaded, in-memory store you can hold in your head, written in C for humans to read.
Engineering & CraftJoanna 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 & CraftFoundation Models gives you Apple's sealed on-device LLM. MLX runs your own: quantized open-weight models and LoRA fine-tunes on Apple Silicon.
AI & TechnologyMark Shuttleworth built Ubuntu on one idea -- Linux for human beings, free software for everyone -- grounded in ubuntu: humanity to others, shipped on a clock.
Engineering & CraftAdi 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 & CraftSophie Wilson designed the ARM instruction set -- now in nearly every phone on Earth -- with a tiny team and a ruthless RISC efficiency that made low power almost an accident.
Engineering & CraftSatoru 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 & CraftGeoffrey Hinton bet on brain-like neural networks through two AI winters when the field mocked them -- conviction over fashion, intuition over formalism.
Engineering & CraftDemis 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.
