Build a real project first. Extract the reusable parts, make them generic. Assemble those parts into a library — then distill the library into a framework.

That's the only way to truly encounter the real-world problems, the edge cases, the potential exploits, and the genuine constraints that every modern library and framework is designed to solve. That's the path I walked. As a result, I understand how Laravel, React and Vue work from the inside out.

The tool serves the developer — not the other way around.

At the application level there should be full freedom within reasonable limits. A framework is a servant, not a master. It should free your hands, not tie them.

When you write your own version of an existing tool, you don't just learn it — you claim it.

This is a symbolic act that matters deeply for a developer's mindset. Every future project built on a tool you truly understand stays transparent and motivating — you know every bolt, every layer of abstraction. There are no black boxes left.

I lean toward libertarianism and anarchism as philosophical positions. Ideologically — liberalism and democracy: free markets kept honest by antitrust law and independent regulators.

Skeptical of Marxism. Fond of the idea of a federation of libertarian states, modelled loosely on the United States.

I see the long-term future in The Venus Project by Jacque Fresco — a resource-based economy grounded in science, technology and cooperation rather than coercion.
