Welcome to my personal website. Here’s a link directly to my blog if that was your intended destination: <https://lr0.org/blog/>

Around the time that he reached the unnerving milestone of turning thirty, Leonardo da Vinci wrote a letter to the ruler of Milan listing the reasons he should be given a job. He had been moderately successful as a painter in Florence, but he had trouble first his commissions and was searching for new horizons. In the first ten paragraphs, he touted his engineering skills, including his ability to design bridges, waterways, cannons, armored vehicles, and public buildings. Only in the eleventh paragraph, at the end, did he add that he was also an artist. “Likewise in painting I can do everything possible,” he wrote.

Likewise, in programming, I can do everything possible, or at least everything worth attempting with patience, rigor, and a certain reverence for form.

Like Leonardo, I do not see disciplines as separate rooms but as adjoining corridors, systems blur into philosophy, engineering into craft, architecture into design.

Also like Leonardo, I am drawn to the connective tissue between disciplines, to the belief that insight deepens when domains collide. What unites these pursuits is not productivity but coherence; a desire to see how patterns echo across art and science, how form reappears in sound, image, proof, and code, and how a single, restless mind can move among them without asking permission.

I exist in other places on the web. I'm on Stack Exchange network. Especially: Skeptics SE and Islam SE. I also exist on HN and Lobsters, and GitHub @larrasket.

You can learn more about me from this page. You can also have look at my anthology, I usually try to make it reflect my principles as much as possible, or at least my taste in literature.
