Notes, guides and lessons from years of building software.
One a href tel tag inside an iframe, three completely different causes, and a test environment that led me to misdiagnose all three.
Why I pick Astro for content-heavy sites, how the islands architecture actually works, and what I learned building this site with it.
The TypeScript habits that keep a project maintainable as it grows, learned from working on codebases that have been running for years.

Searching, sorting, hashing, dynamic programming, recursion: nine foundational families of algorithms and where they actually show up in daily work.
