summary: Why this page exists, and what to expect.
---

I keep having half-thoughts about the things I build that don't fit in a
commit message or a paper, and then I lose them. This page is where they go
from now on: short notes on what I'm building and thinking about, written
more often than I'd manage without somewhere to put them.

## what to expect

Mostly AI engineering, with detours into linguistics, psychology, and
safety, plus some higher-level theory and math. Some posts will be long,
most will be short.

## why a terminal

Because why not. No hero images, no parallax, just text, the way I actually
work:

```sh
$ whoami
mario peng lee, AI Engineer
$ cat thoughts/ | tee blog/
```

> Make technology accessible, inclusive, and safe for everyone.

That's the throughline. Thanks for reading, see you in the next one.
