Hey there! In my latest blog dive, I’ve explored a bit of everything: the vibrant world of crossword enthusiasts on Crosscord, the evolving role of developers in the age of AI, and even a quirky tale about a Waffle House cease-and-desist. It’s a mix of tech talk, wordplay wonders, and some unexpected drama. Check it out if you’re up for a little adventure through diverse topics!

The most valuable skill isn’t writing code, it’s designing coherent systems.
