Notes on Life, Work, and Building Things

I write about the things I spend my time on: building software, making products, work, football, habits, and the questions I keep coming back to.

What Is Life?

Graduate. Get a job. Make money. Spend it. Repeat. I lived that script and kept asking, during every commute: is this it? Quitting was the first honest answer I gave myself.

How Vinland Saga and Berserk Changed My Life

I used to shout, replay every insult, and carry anger around like proof that I cared. Vinland Saga and Berserk taught me a quieter kind of strength: I have no enemies.

GPT Image 2 Feels Like a Cheat Code.

What I noticed after putting GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro and Lite, Krea 2, FLUX.2, Seedream 4 and 5, Wan, and Luma through the kind of briefs I actually use.

The DreamCraft Prompting Guide: A Small Preview.

The basic system I use to turn a vague idea into a controllable image brief. The complete guide and model-specific recipes are coming inside DreamCraft.

Apple Screwed Me. So I Am Building for the Web.

Breakify worked, but metadata rejection and repeated App Review cycles cost me two months. I am taking a short web SaaS break and will return to mobile when I am ready.

DreamCraft Is the Most Ambitious Thing I Have Tried to Build.

I started it as a private tool for making affordable Breakify marketing content. It slowly grew into a studio for image, video, editing, drawing, and consistent characters.

Why I Built Breakify, and Why It Took So Long.

A product for reclaiming attention became a journey through handcrafted onboarding, Apple’s Screen Time entitlement, Swift services, native bridging, and long review cycles.

Expo Made Me Love Building iOS Apps.

I used React Native for speed, kept the native project after Prebuild, added Swift and entitlements in Xcode, and learned why EAS Build made the final step calmer.

I Deleted LinkedIn. I Refuse to Perform My Career.

I got tired of turning work into theatre and ambition into content. I would rather let a portfolio, shipped products, and honest writing speak for me.

I Quit My Job on the Day I Got a Raise

The day I planned to resign, I received a raise. That made one thing obvious: money was never the reason.

Messi. Messi. Messi. Messi.

At 84:59, England were going to the World Cup final. Then a 39-year-old man bent time, found two passes, and changed the ending.

I Quit Instagram Three Years Ago. Nothing Went Missing.

I left for mental peace, expecting to lose connection. Instead, I stopped comparing my real life with everybody else's selected moments.

It Has Been Days Since I Wrote Code. That Is the Point.

My work now begins with the idea, the context, and the infrastructure. AI can help implement, review, debug, and test, but I still have to prove the product works.
