About
Hi, I’m Michak — a software developer based somewhere between the terminal and the browser. I’ve been writing code professionally for about eight years, mostly in web technologies, with occasional detours into systems programming and whatever else sparks curiosity.
I work primarily with TypeScript, React, and Rust these days. I care about software that is fast, readable, and honest about what it does. I’m suspicious of complexity for its own sake.
This site is my public notebook. I write about things I’m learning, patterns I find useful, and occasionally opinions I haven’t fully worked out yet. Nothing here is meant to be authoritative — it’s just thinking out loud.
Things I'm currently interested in
- — Programming language theory and type systems
- — Plain text workflows and local-first software
- — The intersection of good writing and good code
- — Minimal, dependency-light tooling
- — Long-form reading, usually non-fiction
