Static Site Generation as Architectural Statement
Static site generation eliminates entire categories of runtime failure and security vulnerability. It is a philosophical commitment to simplicity, not a limitation.

Working ideas, observations, and things I learned today.

The Strangler Fig pattern replaces legacy systems incrementally, avoiding the big-bang rewrite that fails 62% of the time. Steady progress over dramatic overhaul.
Vector database selection is a standard data architecture decision. Evaluate query patterns, scale, operational overhead, integration, and 24-month total cost.
Context window limits force editorial decisions about what a model gets to know. The strategies for managing this constraint are epistemological choices, not just optimizations.
Automation debt compounds faster than technical debt because automated systems fail silently while manual processes fail visibly. When no one monitors, understands, or can safely modify an automated process, it becomes a liability disguised as efficiency.
