Long-form notes on the things I build — patterns, migrations, and lessons that didn't fit in a commit message.

Server Components, streaming, and caching boundaries — a pragmatic guide to shipping fast App Router apps without fighting the framework.
Lessons from gradually migrating a large Angular codebase to React — strangler-fig routing, shared state, and keeping the team shipping throughout.
