Notes from the workbench
Long-form builds, book notes, and the occasional recipe—written like a letter to a sharp friend, not a landing page.

Papers distilled, experiments that failed, and the occasional implementation worth stealing.
What actually stuck after reading—notes, objections, and who each title is really for.
Recipes, playlists, and side quests that keep the engineering brain from rusting shut.
