## What's This? 🤔 Welcome to my little corner of chaos, where curiosity meets an attempt at organized thought. This is my take on building a **Second Brain** ([what's that?](https://www.buildingasecondbrain.com/))—a public knowledge base designed for my own growth, learning, and, let’s face it, some much-needed structure., ## Why Does This Exist? 💡 Honestly, I have *no idea what I’m doing.* But hey, life’s all about trying things, right? Here’s what I hope to achieve: - **Personal Growth:** Collect and connect ideas to create something meaningful. - **Sharpen My Writing:** Practice makes (slightly closer to) perfect. - **Share What I Learn:** Why hoard knowledge when I can share it with you? This space will evolve as I figure out what works, what doesn’t, and what gets me into a productive flow. Think of it as an experiment in public thinking. ## What You'll Find Here 📝 This is where my professional passions and personal hobbies collide. Expect a mix of: - **Tech Musings:** - Deep dives into **systems programming**, **observability**, **eBPF**, and everything else that keeps me tinkering with servers late into the night. - Insights into **machine learning infrastructure**, profiling ML workloads, and scaling systems for high performance. - Reflections on open-source adventures, contributing to projects like Prometheus, Thanos, Parca, and beyond. - Explorations of **language runtimes**, especially Go, Rust, and my growing fascination with Zig. - **Lessons from Life:** - Stories from the trenches of open-source development and parenting in Berlin. - Experiments with self-hosting, building clusters using SBCs (hello, Raspberry Pi enthusiasts!), and crafting ergonomic keyboards. - Notes on balancing a career in tech with hobbies like camping, reading sci-fi and fantasy, and playing D&D. - **Random Sparks:** - A mix of ideas, notes, and musings that might grow into something bigger—or simply spark curiosity. Some of it will make sense. Some of it might not. But if you find inspiration here—or just a good laugh—it’s all worth it. --- Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to explore, share your thoughts, or just enjoy the ride. 🚀
