Who I Am
Hi! I'm Antonin. I'm a Staff Engineer at a Legal AI startup. I've bounced between energy, fintech, payroll platforms, and consulting for the past 20 years -- enough stops to have opinions about both startups and larger companies.
Highlights
- My VIM config appeared in Watch Dogs 2. I did not approve this and I think that's funnier.
- programmers-proverbs has 679 stars on GitHub. "A deployed MVP is worth two prototyped."
- I've been blogging since 2012 across five platforms. This is the SvelteKit era.
On This Blog
This blog has been around since 2012 and redesigned more times than I'd like to admit. You'll find my "Demystifying" series breaking down CLI tools like tar, ffmpeg, and jq. Posts on AI coding workflows -- what works, what doesn't, what costs more than you think. Opinions on databases, ORMs, testing, and TypeScript. Occasional AI fiction. And whatever else I can't stop thinking about long enough to not write down.
