Thinking Domains

Where the thinking lives

Deep

Systems Thinking

Modeling the world as interconnected feedback loops. Understanding emergence, leverage points, and second-order effects before writing a single line of code.

Information Architecture

How data structures shape user experiences. Schema design, taxonomy, ontology — the invisible scaffolding that determines how knowledge flows through a system.

AI & Cognition

Understanding how machines reason — and where they fail. Chain-of-thought decomposition, structured outputs, context management, and the gap between intelligence and reliability.

Design & Craft

Typography as interface. Color as information. Motion as meaning. The intersection of visual precision and engineering discipline — where pixels serve purpose.

Performance Engineering

Obsessing over milliseconds because they compound. Rendering pipelines, memory management, bundle optimization, and the art of making things feel instant.

DevTools & Infrastructure

Building tools for builders. CLI design, developer experience, observability dashboards, and the meta-problem of making engineering itself more productive.

Philosophy

Ideas don't exist in isolation. They compound when connected.

Every domain in this map feeds into the others. The edges matter more than the nodes.
