A go-live runbook for a serverless browser app
A practical, ordered go-live runbook for an app with no backend: verifying the build and assets, confirming metadata and share previews, checking performance and the offline path, making sure analytics and error reporting are live before traffic arrives, and knowing exactly how to roll back. Less a philosophy than a checklist that has earned its place.
- No servers, subtler risks
- Check before traffic, not after
- Know your rollback cold

Content as code: running a 250-post blog without a CMS
Why the product blog stores all ~250 posts as typed TypeScript objects instead of in a CMS: the post shape is enforced by the compiler, the whole catalog is versioned and reviewable in git, broken posts cannot ship, and the same tools that build the app build the content — plus an honest account of where this approach stops scaling.
- Posts are typed objects, not rows
- The compiler is the editor
- No half-published states

Designing a fair free tier: where the usage limits go
A practical guide to designing a free tier that works: why it is a product decision rather than a giveaway, what a free tier is actually for, the difference between crippling it to force upgrades and making it genuinely useful, where to place limits — by usage, feature, or scale — so they track the value rather than punish the user, and how to protect your costs without making the free tier feel like a hostage situation.
- A free tier is a product decision
- Useful alone, not crippled
- Limits should track value, not punish
