"Beauty is truth, truth beauty" - This Keatsian principle guides my approach to software. After four decades in technology, I've learned that elegant solutions emerge from deep understanding. My work seeks to honor both the timeless wisdom of our intellectual heritage and the transformative power of modern tools.
With AI as a multiplier, what once took months now takes days. This "unfathomable coding leverage" allows us to build systems that are not just functional, but beautiful - code that works (truth) and delights (beauty).
