Why this website exists
#This site is mostly for me. More precisely, it is a hacker’s public notebook.
I write to think, untangle thoughts, clear mental noise, and notice what I actually believe. There is a strange moment when you write something down and realize you are not just describing an idea. You are describing yourself.
My mindset is hacking. Not just the computer-security version, but the broader version: everything can be broken, and most things can be fixed if you understand the system deeply enough.
That applies to software, habits, biology, psychology, productivity, learning, identity, and life itself. If something does not work, I assume there is a way around it: a better method, a different angle, or a deeper model. I am rarely satisfied with “that’s just how it is.”
There is no content strategy here. No SEO calendar, no audience funnel, and no niche I intend to milk until this starts feeling like a second job. I have obsessions instead. I follow one until I have something worth writing down, then I may disappear into a completely different subject.
That is why the site jumps between cybersecurity, hacking, health, self-experimentation, psychology, tools, books, and the occasional uncomfortable personal lesson.
Sometimes technical. Sometimes philosophical. Sometimes personal.
The goal is to keep this site as me as possible. No spam AI articles. No posts engineered to go viral. No pretending to be a publication with an editorial plan. Just a public notebook, a record of my thinking, and a way to stop hiding from my own conclusions.
That also means old posts are allowed to stay old. I would rather write a new article that argues with my previous self than quietly replace what I thought with what I think now. Watching the mistakes, overconfidence, corrections, and better questions accumulate is part of the point.
I’m flawed like everyone else. The difference is that I try to observe those flaws directly, study them, and design around them.
Yes, I do use LLMs for writing and discussing ideas. But I use them as a tool, not for automatic content creation. I always write my articles from scratch, then have Claude or ChatGPT proof read and improve my writing. I’m still working on becoming a better writer. And of course I do vibe coding, but mostly for UI design (I absolutely cannot make nice UIs).
