If you're proud of your full green GitHub contribution graph, you're missing the point.

A packed graph doesn't prove passion. It shows poor planning and no hobbies.

Seniority is about impact per hour, not hours per week. Stop glorifying burnout.

I have deleted more "1 AM genius code" than I care to admit.

Code written while exhausted is just bugs waiting to happen. The best debugger in the world is a good night's sleep and a walk outside.

Simplicity isn’t about being minimal.
It’s about reducing the number of decisions you have to make under pressure.

Tech culture lied to us. You don't need to code 24/7.
​I stopped coding on weekends a year ago.
Result: Burnout gone. Code quality up. Promoted.
​My best solutions now come while resting on Sunday, not while forcing code on Saturday night.
​Rest is an engineering tool. Use it.

We used to take years to build unmaintainable legacy code. With AI, we generate it in minutes.

If you merge code you don't understand just because it compiles, you are a liability, not an engineer.

AI generates technical debt faster than you can read it.

My most productive day this month wasn't shipping a feature. It was deleting 1,500 lines of legacy code.

We treat code like an asset, but it is a liability. Every line requires testing and maintenance.

Juniors add complexity. Seniors remove it.

Resume Driven Development is the silent killer of startups.
We are hiring engineers who want to learn Kubernetes on the company dime, instead of engineers who know how to ship a monolith in 24 hours.
Complexity is a great way to get promoted at Big Tech, but it is a terrible way to build a business.

We really normalized paying $20/month per developer seat just to host a static site that gets 50 visitors.

The cloud marketing machine did an amazing job convincing us that managing a standard Linux server is rocket science.

I used to build resumes, not products. Kubernetes for a blog? Check. Microservices for 10 users? Check.

In 2026, I fired complexity. I returned to the Boring Stack: Monolith, SQLite, single VPS.

My deploy time dropped from 15m to 3s.

Here is why boring software wins:

Stop arguing with a goldfish.

Standard RAG searches lack object permanence. They see text, but they don't see time.

MemVault fixes this by giving your agent a proper long-term memory that distinguishes between static code and runtime events.

#BuildInPublic#IndieDev#Dev

Building MemVault because standard RAG fails on context. Vectors find keywords, not relationships.

My fix: "Sleep Cycles." I added async processing that consolidates entities into a Knowledge Graph in the background.

Stack: Next.js, Postgres (pgvector), Redis.
