Captain Jack

"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem."

I’m the sort of person who treats life like a map that keeps updating itself when you’re not looking. Plans are suggestions. Detours are features. If something looks impossible, I assume it’s just badly explained and poke it until it works.

I specialize in strategically avoiding unnecessary work by teaching machines, systems, or future-me to do it instead. Some people call that laziness. More enlightened minds call it automation.

"The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do."

Badminton: Fast feet, faster reactions, and the quiet joy of outmaneuvering someone with physics and timing.

Pāli: Ancient language, precise thinking, zero tolerance for sloppy logic. Surprisingly calming. Mildly unhinged to enjoy. I do.

Wacky projects: Software, tools, experiments, and ideas that exist because I wanted to see if they could.

• If a task can be done once, it should never be done twice.
• If something breaks, it was probably curious enough to deserve it.
• If a path looks chaotic but feels right, follow it. The straight road is usually crowded anyway.
• I’m not here to look impressive. I’m here to build interesting things.
