Things I’m drafting.

I write slowly. These are the essays in my drafts folder — pieces I keep coming back to. When they’re ready, they’ll be here.

1. 01

   Boring tech still wins (and why I keep choosing Postgres)

   drafting

   The argument for picking the unsexy stack you already understand over the new shiny one. Notes from three years of shipping at a Swedish product company.

2. 02

   Where you set the alert threshold is the whole product

   drafting

   A tuning story from cluster-canary's failure predictor. The cost of a false page, the cost of a missed OOMKill, and why the calibrated threshold is per-cluster, not a constant.

3. 03

   Polyglot by taste, not by resume

   drafting

   On working in TypeScript, Python, and SQL in the same week — and why the language doesn't matter as much as the shape of the problem.
