There is a particular kind of satisfaction that comes from spending decades building compilers, wandering through web frameworks, desktop systems, multimedia tooling, and language runtimes, and eventually realizing that a lot of those apparently separate problems are really the same problem wearing different clothes.
That is essentially where I am in 2026.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, I realized I was essentially back where I started.
Compilers.Only this time, the compiler isn't necessarily compiling a programming language into a single executable target.
It is compiling systems.
