Blog & Insights

Deep dives into engineering management, data-driven transformation, and practical AI.

Notes from building data and AI systems at work and side projects after hours. Some posts are engineering leadership: asking better questions, growing engineers into leads. Some are hands-on: how LinkedIn spots browser automation, running code agents with a review step, reviving a 30-year-old game with Claude Code. Some are about the market: where vertical SaaS is heading and how the GPU market works. Most start as a short post in the Naturalist’s Notes Telegram channel and get expanded here with numbers and sources. This page lists the English posts; the Russian ones live on their own page.
