I’m Richard, a software engineer who finds himself perpetually caught between the pragmatic and the philosophical aspects of building things with code.

This blog serves as a digital collection of thoughts that emerge from the intersection of technology, psychology, and the occasionally irrational decisions we make as people who spend our days translating human problems into machine-readable solutions.

Sometimes I let AI (Grammarly) polish my typos.
