This is Your Captain Speaking

Welcome to navigator.today — a digital garden about creating, adventuring, and overthinking.

This isn’t a typical developer blog. It has no newsletter, targeted advertising, or LinkedIn-style professional facade.

It’s a collection of essays, technical notes, travel logs, and thought experiments, loosely organized by mood and occasionally by saga.

I write about:

• Building things: backend systems, rants about compatibility, and this very site you’re poking around
• Exploring the world: misadventures, cultures, and food
• Thinking aloud: futurism, productivity, and the world of engineering

Choose Your Destination

Here are some good first reads depending on your class, alignment, and stats:

For Techies:

• GoatCounter: Free, Noninvasive Analytics: count page views and farm animals
• Advanced Python You’ll Actually Use: some tasty syntactic sugar
• I’m Not Supporting Legacy Browsers, and You Can’t Make Me: a rant on compatibility

For Fellow Explorers:

• Travel Gear List: what you actually need to travel the world
• Stonehenge: It’s Just a Bunch of Rocks: ancient stones with a hidden side quest
• The Best Ramen in the World: it’s Ichiran and I will die on this hill.

For Those Who Like Brain Spirals:

• Negative Feedback Loop: AI eating itself—a digital ouroboros
• The Singularity: tech cults and AI factions
• Analysis Paralysis: why I procrastinated on building this site

Navigational Aids

Most posts fall into one of three categories:

• Build: coding, development logs, infrastructure choices I regret
• Explore: travel guides, adventures, weird ruins, foreign foods
• Think: lifestyle hacking, philosophical tangents, and hot takes that probably contradict my older posts

If you’re here for a specific topic, check the tags page.

If you’re just here to wander, you’re in good company.

The path is nonlinear.

The simplest and cheapest tools possible.

I refuse to give AWS another cent.

Still Confused?

That’s fine. So am I, and I wrote this site.

Welcome aboard.
