Long-form retrospectives, technical papers, and architectural post-mortems documenting what I learn.
Writing about a problem forces you to discover which parts of the system you didn't truly understand.
From Rømer's moons-of-Jupiter timing in 1676 to Michelson's rotating mirror, to modern laser interferometry — tracing the ingenious experiments that pinned down one of nature's fundamental constants.
Examining how nuclear fusion in the solar core converts mass into energy via the proton-proton chain, and how radiative transfer, thermal bremsstrahlung, and atomic transitions transport photons outward to the photosphere.
How does a computer actually compute? Exploring the journey from 1804 on/off punch cards to 1940s vacuum tubes, relays, and early binary switching logic.
Lessons learned from implementing optical flow, spatial filters, and matrix homography by hand.
