Building software, and taking notes along the way.

I didn't come up through a computer science degree. I've been teaching myself to build software by shipping real products, with AI as a patient pair programmer. This is where I write down what I'm learning as I go.

Hi, I'm Logan.

I came to software without a computer science degree or the usual credentials. What I had was a list of problems I wanted to solve and enough curiosity to keep pulling on the thread.

AI changed what that path could look like. I learn by building: I ask a lot of questions, read the code that comes back, break things, and keep at it until I understand why it works. Every project has taught me something the last one didn't, from data modeling to deployments to the small details that make an interface feel right.

Today I build and ship full-stack products, mostly in TypeScript and Next.js. This blog is the running record of that: what I'm building, what I'm learning, and what I got wrong the first time.

When I'm not working, I'm usually in the mountains, skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer.

} as const;
