Knowing Less, Producing More
On AI, Craftsmanship, and the Slow Erosion of Productive Friction.
Hi, I'm Boris—an engineering manager from Chișinău, Moldova, currently based in Kyiv, Ukraine. My time is split between work, tinkering with Emacs, exploring the world of wine, and embarking on quests in Final Fantasy XIV (and other video games).
I share my Emacs journey through open source projects on GitHub, alongside technical writing and musings on this site.
I also document my wine experiences and tasting events on 🍇 Barberry Garden 🦄—a personal wine database built with Emacs and org-mode.
If you appreciate my work, consider supporting me on Patreon.
P.S. d12frosted means dice with 12 sides from the Chessex™ frosted series. I used to play tabletop RPGs. Just a little bit.
