Software is disposable. Knowledge isn't.
Hello World: Starting My Blog Journey
During discussions, I get lost in sidequests. I’ll be explaining how LLMs work - not word by word, but token by token - and instead of continuing, I’ll detour into tokenization. And tokenization resembles compression, like zip, so suddenly we’re there too. Three levels deep. I look up and my listener is gone.
So I’m building checkpoints. Small blocks, focused, with visuals that will help me better deliver various ideas. The sidequest becomes a hyperlink instead of a derailment.
“Read this, then we can talk” sounds dismissive. It’s actually the opposite - it’s me not burying you in sidequests you didn’t sign up for.
I’ll be writing about AI, models, and AI-augmented software development. Mostly small blocks. Occasionally something longer for the brave.
One topic: disposable solutions. Like just-in-time manufacturing - create something simple, good enough, use it, dispose. The opposite of building warehouses full of features for “what if” situations that never happen.
This Astro site? Just a container. Disposable anytime.
Software is disposable. Knowledge isn’t.
Happy reading.
