UNSORTED / 2026-09-12

Understanding beats magic.

Using the thing is fun. Seeing under the abstraction is better.

I like tools, but the moment a tool stops feeling magical is usually the part I remember.

That is why I keep ending up below the comfortable layer - model training instead of only prompting, infrastructure instead of only deploying, CAD instead of only buying a bracket.
