Trying desperately not to isolate myself from the rest of humanity in the Portuguese mountains until I die alone my corpse undiscovered for a decade. I also enjoy photography.

The metro tunnels are leaking under the weight of so much rain.

A style and subject that resonates with my inner life, and allows me not just to capture images, but to capture the emotions I wrestle with, to create a sense of vulnerability that motivates me to push my own boundaries.

It might not be good, but it is me.

But reviewing my portfolio from the past decades, I have finally started to see an aesthetic that appeared over and over, one that still excites me. This year I’m going to double down on this aesthetic, find joy in photography, the process of rediscovering the world around me again.

I took so few photos in 2025. I’d lost my inspiration, the process had become mechanical, without joy, a desperate seeking never satiated. My experiments had become stale, vanilla, unfocused, boring.

At least LLMs can’t fold space. Right? Please don’t tell me there’s a startup working on this because that is definitely a torment nexus.

I get this feeling you're not going to inform me when you've actually submitted. Maybe you already have, for all I know.

Why did we choose to call it “vibe coding” and not “engineering management simulation”?

Fight me: this is in the top 5 rock albums of the 90s.

Open Source Power We have to talk about open source licensing.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

A Post-Open Source World Open source used to be about freedom. But capitalist forces has turned open source on its ear. How do we return to our roots as activists for a better world?

Open Source is Broken The Open Source movement, as championed by the OSI, prizes absolute openness above all other concerns. Openness, they claim, is an absolute good, from which all other virtues flow, not to be questione...

Thanks for speaking out despite the peer pressure. I wrote a couple of pieces on this topic, even presented about the how the concept of the commons is broken to the OSI. Mostly fell on deaf ears but maybe you’ll find something helpful.

I’d rather lift people up than find snake oil peddlers.

The difference between a junior engineer and an LLM is the junior dev learns from their mistakes and becomes a better dev for it.

How the fuck is this supposed to be useful? Why is everyone exhorting us to embrace tools that create problems more problems than they solve? How can we even call this progress with a straight face? When did we decide sycophancy was what our code needed?
