Hello, world

I spend most of my time making systems faster: query plans, indexes, and the APIs that sit on top of them. A lot of what I learn doing that ends up in a pull request comment or a Slack thread, where it is effectively gone a week later.

This site is where I am going to put it instead.

Expect posts about PostgreSQL — execution plans, indexing decisions, the difference between a query that is slow and a query that is slow sometimes — and about designing APIs in Python and Java that stay honest under load. Short and concrete, closer to a notebook entry than an article.

No schedule, no newsletter. Just notes, published where I can find them again.
