title: "Notes from the Engineering Desk" date: "2026-04-28" excerpt: "An opening note on what I plan to write about — distributed systems, code as craft, and the small details that make backends boring in the best way." tags: ["meta", "writing"]
This is the first post in the Engineering section of the blog. Expect short write-ups on distributed systems, the small design choices that decide whether a service feels reliable, and the parts of software craft that don't fit on a resume.
What goes here
- Architecture sketches from systems I've worked on (sanitised, of course).
- Postmortems of bugs that taught me something I didn't know before.
- Reading notes from papers and blog posts I keep coming back to.
What doesn't
Hot takes, framework wars, "X considered harmful" rants. The bar is: would I want to read this two years from now?
