Hi! I'm a backend-leaning fullstack engineer (+8 YOE) with strong backend & DevOps experience. Open to backend or fullstack role; I prefer to work for a startup, but I'm open to other opportunities.
I worked at Automattic (US), the company behind WordPress; fully remote, async teams across the globe.
My work tends to center on ownership and outcomes. I typically take problems end-to-end from architecture to deployment, and stay accountable once it's live. I've built and maintained time-sensitive, high-throughput services processing millions of ops daily.
I've been part of teams focused on speed and rapid iteration, and I've also worked on high-quality systems where long-term maintainability and reliability matter the most. I'm a pretty flexible and adaptable person. I also know many things about product development, and can help with product judgment beyond mere engineering.
Sam Altman and other big figures tend to shape their narratives around their personal and organizational interests. When people were skeptical, they pushed hard into the "God-like AI" narrative. Now that safety concerns are growing and their growth plans are in danger, they're pushing back against what they used to advocate.
Even if they genuinely believe what they’re saying, their perspective is still fundamentally biased and should always be taken with a healthy grain of salt.
I think they just say shit. And then they say the exact opposite shit, without blinking. Maybe that's why they confuse next token prediction with thought, not to ennoble "AI", but to absolve themselves.
I hate to say it, but I'm becoming less and less interested in structured content, and more interested in disorganized, messy content over time. I don't like the thought of how this may end up in a few years for me.
This ^. The moment I open an article/post and see subtitles in *bold*, emojis everywhere and/or symmetric paragraphs, I start to suspect instantly whether it's AI.
> more interested in disorganized, messy content over time
Same, that kind of content kinda forces me to use my brain (yeah.. sounds obvious..) to organize the message, understand it, agree/disagree, and actually CONSUME the content, like the old days..
Tokenmaxxing is so dumb. You should never show your team how exactly you're measuring their performance; people will optimize for the metric, not the actual performance.
Classic Goodhart’s Law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
