The parts of my second brain worth making public.
Everything I write lives here. Guides get revised rather than archived, and where a subject needs more than one sitting it becomes a series you can read in order. Musings are the shorter, dated end of it — kept as written, not tidied up later.
How-tos
Do the thing — steps, settings, and the order that works.
References
Look it up — tables, policies, and definitions.
Musings
Short and dated — what I thought on the day, left as written.
- Nobody asked me to build anything The question I get at work changed from "can AI do this" to "how do I use the thing we already bought." The bottleneck moved from capability to habit, and I have my own numbers to prove it.

- The short version of what's happening in AI What the scaling argument actually claims, which parts of it are measured, which parts are extrapolation, and what has landed two years on.
- Translation, not generation The near-term AI story in architecture isn't designing buildings, it's the collapse of the translation tax that surrounds the design.
