Chapter 01 // The Generalist
Master of all technology.
Lazy coder.
14 years on GitHub. 9 languages. Hardware, firmware, mobile, web, infrastructure. The kind of engineer who can build anything from a PCB to a Kubernetes cluster — but always built just enough to prove it worked, then moved on.

Chapter 02 // The Inflection
Same brain. Infinite throughput.
The generalist skillset wasn't the weakness — it was the latent advantage. Knowing a little about everything meant knowing exactly where to point the most capable AI models on the planet. The lazy coder became the most efficient one.

Chapter 03 // The Receipt
12.6 billion tokens.
73 days. 48 repos. 358K lines.
Not vanity metrics. Actual inference consumed building production systems — infrastructure-as-code, IoT platforms, customer-facing applications, mobile apps, and everything in between. Running 87% on Opus, the most capable model available.
