Engineering Philosophy: Roberto Ierusalimschy
Roberto Ierusalimschy designed Lua around one principle -- mechanisms, not policy -- a small, fast, embeddable language that hands you the levers instead of the rules.
Engineering & CraftWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Engineering Philosophy: Jim Keller, Transistors Are Free
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 & CraftSwift 6.2 Concurrency in Practice: Default to MainActor, Escape on Purpose
Swift 6.2 inverts concurrency: default your module to MainActor (SE-0466), run nonisolated async on the caller (SE-0461), escape with @concurrent.
AI & TechnologyEngineering 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: Salvatore Sanfilippo (antirez)
Salvatore 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 & 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: 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.
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: 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: 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: Guido van Rossum, Readability Counts
Guido van Rossum built Python on one bet: code is read far more often than it is written, so the language itself should optimize for the human reading it.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Tim Berners-Lee, This Is for Everyone
Tim Berners-Lee invented the web and gave it away: universality and permissionless decentralization -- anyone, anywhere can publish and link without asking.
