I build stupid things with code. Writing interactive blog posts (veeeery slowly) at: https://sassnow.ski
if you study hard and become good at any given craft, you'll eventually see success unless, of course, it's 2026, and you're on the worst timeline terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...
A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics
I am proud to be among the list of 25 initial signatories — all Fields Medallists — to the declaration below, which grew out of discussions between ourselves over the last week. We have…

there used to be a strong correlation between seeing neat things online, and the person who made it: 1. is very knowledgeable and passionate about it 2. put love and care into it 3. is getting recognition for it but that trust is now gone, the grifters skipped to step 3, the slop ghouls have won
this wave of AI has legitimately killed a huge part of what I loved about seeing stuff online, what I loved about being an educator, and what I loved about sharing my own work I just don't feel like doing it anymore
What's making me really sad in the age of AI is that it completely removed this sense of wonder and awe from people's side projects for me. I really miss the "Holy shit, someone's brain actually did that" feeling I used to get. Like, now I see some really impressive projects and just go "eh".
I have my first end of semester exam for my math degree on Friday. I'm only mildly panicking. I'll need you to collectively cross your fingers for me 😨
Played a grass volleyball tournament today and now my entire lower body is cramping 🥲 Came in 7th out of 32 though so I'm pretty happy 😊

I've made a Kubernetes that runs in the browser, and today we're open sourcing it. The hope here is to make super interactive and visual web content about Kubernetes much easier to write, and we have a whole bunch planned this year. Repo: github.com/ngrok/webern... Demo: webernetes-demo.ngrok.app
I just found the absolute best picture of me ever taken
I'm mentoring a lot of junior devs at my current job. By far the most common design advice I give them is to separate the thing that produces a value from the thing(s) that consumes the value. It's incredible how often that ends up massively simplifying the problem space.
I always love randomly seeing the things I’ve built in the wild 😊 (in this case utgars-chronicles.app)

After reading a lot of mathematical proofs, I've come to the conclusion that every mathematician really wanted to be an English (or in my case, German) professor. Also, the subjunctive is now my best friend.
Today marks the official start of my bachelor's degree in math! I'm beyond excited 😍

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

Even working through only the first few problem sets, I realized how much I love (and missed) chewing through difficult problems. There's something so satisfying about really having to think hard about a problem
