About

Hi, I'm Stalin.

I'm a curious technology enthusiast who can't leave a new tool alone. If something promises to make building on the web faster, smarter, or weirder, I'll probably try it — and then write about whether it was worth it.

This blog is where I document projects, ideas, and lessons learned. Expect honest write-ups of AI experiments, notes on websites and software I love (or don't), and the occasional reflection on what it's like to work from a different city every few months.

I'm independent: no sponsors, no affiliate links, no newsletter funnel. Just a person on the internet sharing what they find.

Based in

Wherever the Wi-Fi is good

Writing about

Websites, software, AI, the internet

Current stack

Next.js, Tailwind, a $5 VPS, too many AI tools

Carry-on only

One 28L backpack, one laptop

What I'm doing now

  • Rebuilding small tools with AI coding agents and writing up what actually holds up.
  • Collecting personal websites for a hand-curated directory of the small web.
  • Slowly working through Southeast Asia with a stop planned in Lisbon in the spring.
