Tidbits

We live in a world flush with longwinded AI generated articles choking the search engines into a death of irrelevancy. I believe that small, precise and factual articles are one way we can improve upon this status quo.

They are meant to be plain and capture tidbits of information, that could otherwise get lost in the noise, in a matter-of-fact way.

Ramblings

These are some longer articles I’ve written along the way. Since these were written quite some time ago, when I was less knowledgeable (but younger!), I find them to be not quite top notch. I will, however, keep them online as a journal of my growth and as a source of insight, however meager, for those that have the time to read them.
