About
I'm Vlad. After ten years in the IT industry, I have finally reached a point where I am ready to share my "not-so-broken" understanding of the world with other humans.
It wasn't industry knowledge alone that influenced my decision to start writing; rather, it was a happy coincidence of hard work, free time, and philosophical research. I detail my engineering and philosophical wanderings, as well as the rationale behind them, in my very first article regarding my micro-retirement.
If you are interested in my technical background, you can find it on the Professional Bio page.
Site content
As the owner of this website, I intend to fill it with personal experiences and biased opinions. I will not engage in rehashing — simply rephrasing well-known facts. My mission is to explore lifestyle, philosophy, engineering, business, and travel through an empirical lens and genuine content.
This website is primarily my digital heritage, not a tool to farm SEO points or promote a personal brand.
Why I write
Spending long hours contemplating my place in the world, I often experience moments of revelation. "Aha, so that’s how it works!" I tell myself when, amidst a sequence of events, reflexes, and shifting emotional states, I discover a recurring pattern.
I perceive every ripple in the universe as an experiment. I see the outcome of such an experiment as a combination of an emotionally neutral fact (what happened) and its impact on the living and the spiritual (the emotions it evoked). Exploring the influence of one upon the other is the very purpose of my research.
We are thinking people, and it is more important than ever to share our thoughts. My ideas aren't plucked from thin air — they are the results of reflecting on what is happening to me here and now. They are attempts to outline a certain structure and understand how it will evolve over time, depending on the nature of the effort applied.
LLM usage
While I use LLMs for proofreading and fixing typographical errors, I will strictly avoid publishing AI-generated content as my own original thought.
