Conway's Game of Life
An interactive cellular automaton where simple rules create complex, emergent behavior.
Writing
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.
Startup Validation Stack: What 12 Projects Taught Me
I validated 12 projects in 9 months. Some followed the framework. Some skipped steps. The difference in outcomes taught me which evidence actually matters.
Career & GrowthOODA Loop Prompt Engineering: What Five Failures Taught Me
Five prompt failures taught me that structured observation beats clever wording. Boyd's OODA loop maps directly to my daily prompt engineering workflow.
AI & TechnologyMental Compound Interest: Cross-Domain Knowledge in Practice
Design + engineering + AI produced tools none of those skills alone could build. An interactive calculator and the cross-domain advantage in practice.
Systems & ProductivityClaude Code Hooks: Why Each of My 95 Hooks Exists
I built 95 hooks for Claude Code. Each one exists because something went wrong. Here are the origin stories and the architecture that emerged.
AI DevelopmentVibe Coding vs. Engineering: Where I Draw the Line
I use Claude Code daily with 86 hooks and a full quality gate system. Here's where I vibe code, where I engineer, and why the boundary matters.
AI & TechnologyBuilding 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 & UXBrutalist Web Design Meets Beauty: My Site's Approach
I built my site at the intersection of beauty and brutalism: structural honesty, precise typography, and four opacity tiers on absolute black. No colors needed.
Design & UX16 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.
