from the mind of a seasoned tech leader
AI coding agents boost speed and productivity, but they risk eroding core engineering skills. As developers shift from building systems to prompting models, deep understanding can weaken. The challenge isn’t using AI—it’s ensuring it augments thinking rather than replaces it.
A reflection on the Epstein Drive from The Expanse—why it feels so plausible, how it exposes the limitations of today’s propulsion technology, and what real-world advances in fusion, materials, and heat management would be required to turn science fiction into reality.
NASA’s Artemis program uses AI to enhance navigation, detect anomalies, assist landings, and support mission planning. As missions expand, AI will enable autonomous lunar operations while humans remain central to decision-making and exploration.
From Angels to Insects explores the tension between the divine and the mortal through layered abstraction, evolving an older work into a textured meditation on transformation, struggle, and resilience.
AI data centers face soaring costs and environmental stress, but solutions exist. Liquid cooling, renewable power, optical networking, edge deployment and futuristic ideas like high-altitude or space computing could make AI cheaper, cleaner and more sustainable.
Astrophage is a fictional organism with extreme energy storage, inspired by real biology like ATP, lipids, and extremophiles. Andy Weir grounds the concept in real science, exploring how life might store massive energy or survive near a star while pushing biology into speculative territory.
TrackMan data now drives MLB scouting, shaping draft value and trade decisions. Pitch metrics like spin, movement, and VAA help teams identify pitchers with elite traits, while exit velocity and barrel rates reveal hitters with strong projection and underlying power.
A weekend project created a 3D Solar System simulator that models planets, orbits, propulsion systems, and flip-and-burn trajectories. It blends science and visualization, showing how fast complex space-travel tools can be built with modern AI-assisted development.
AI agents now generate code, plan tasks, and work across tools, making clear communication essential. Technical writers are becoming key players in guiding and structuring AI-driven development, shaping how software is planned, built, and maintained.
