Long Form
A running collection of random thoughts on software, AI, the world and the human judgment calls that don’t fit into a pull request.
I spent almost three years building software that reviews novels. Every writer wanted to know if the book was good. Answering honestly meant measuring what we could, judging what we could not, and deciding whose judgment wins when there is no single right answer.
I built a tool that "decides the boring stuff." Then I realized the boring stuff was how junior developers used to learn this job, and that fewer of them are getting the chance.
When anyone can say "just build me a website," the framework gets chosen by a model trained on yesterday's internet. The risk isn't that React wins. It's that nothing new ever gets the chance to.
Laws get set once and rarely revisited against the harm they were built to address. A $136 ticket at a red light raised a sharper question: what would governance look like if it ran on data instead of inertia?
