Things I've thought about long enough to write down.

Part 1: I tried to build a pixel-perfect theme transition using a WICG API that only works on its own children. Part 2: I tried to build Lauterbrunnen valley in a browser. A silent heightmap conversion made everything float.

A site-by-site account of sourcing real terrain data, PBR textures, low-poly models, and spatial audio for Alpine World — before writing a single line of code. And the one pipeline failure that cascaded into three.

Two AI tools built out of frustration with being a passenger in my own build sessions. What they are, why they exist, and what they taught me about learning to code alongside AI.

How a weekend of free Lovable credits and the specific pain of being on iPhone + Windows turned into a real product that still runs.

On building the infrastructure before the demand. Changelogs, pipelines, tokens, and content systems — why I reach for them early and what it costs when you don't.
