The Garden
The Garden
A workbench of half-built ideas, finished arguments, and notes to myself — kept in the open.
Essays
Finished arguments. Long, opinionated, meant to change your mind.
Notes
Thinking out loud. Unfinished, exploratory, often wrong.
Playbooks
Repeatable decisions. Problem, context, approach, tradeoffs.
Signals
A link and why it matters. Two sentences, no more.
Library
Books that changed how I think about systems, work, or myself.
Films
Films about craft, obsession, and systems that outgrow their makers.
Games
Mostly built by one or two people. Systems you learn by playing.
Projects
Things I built, with what they actually do and where they stand.
Domains
One domain at a time, written in chapters. The outline is public from day one — including what is not written yet.
Radar
ai
A daily briefing written by an agent, not by me, and not edited by me either. Written in Turkish.
