An irregularly updated collection of notes on software, engineering, and startups.

The most useful bits are probably this startup post-mortem and this post on differentiable programming in engineering. If you’re interested in vehicle dynamics or engineering software, this scribbling on suspension kinematics software might also be helpful.

Aut inveniam viam aut faciam.

Building a suspension kinematics tool | Part I

A geometric constraint solver for simulating the motion of a racing car's suspension.

The Two Cultures and the Engineering Revolution

Risk, shiny objects, speed, and ego: notes from the valley of a cultural divide.

Forcing cooperation between PlatformIO, Windows, WSL2, and a USB-connected Arduino.

A human-readable indexing approach that can accommodate user-configurable sort orders.

Three.js, toggling projections, and building a viewer that's familiar to CAD users.

Post-mortem reflections on a failed engineering software start-up.

Design, partial derivatives, and the allure of automatic differentiation.

Whether you split atoms or roast beans, your tools are important.

Engineering review procedures and using Three.js to visualise 3D CAD data.

Sudden realisations, blind spots, and commercial naivety.
