What I'm Learning: Spring 2026

Published Apr 18, 2026

Notes from classes, papers, and side projects this semester.

This semester has been a useful reminder that learning is easier to keep when it has somewhere to go. Projects give the theory edges. Writing gives the project a memory.

I have been paying more attention to product constraints: who actually uses the system, which data they trust, and where a clean abstraction becomes a way to hide important details.

The through line is still the same: build useful things, learn in public, and ship enough real work to make the next question sharper.
