A living commonplace

A changing collection of what I’m reading, carrying, questioning, reflecting on, and practicing.

Reading

Drift Into Failure book cover

Drift Into Failure

by Sidney Dekker

Actions can make sense locally and still fail globally.

Carrying

“Investigate this thoroughly.”

— Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

Borrowed wisdom becomes understanding through curiosity, practice, and lived experience.

Questioning

I’m exploring automation, optimization, and normalization as forces that quietly shape what we consider reasonable.

Reflecting

Reading brings the world into thought. Writing brings thought into the world. Knowledge preserves what becomes durable.

Practicing

Building an agentic coding workflow around context, judgment, and functioning software.
