4 AMAI agents, systems code, and late-night experiments.Zola2026-05-23T00:00:00+00:00https://0x04am.com/atom.xmlHello, Friend2026-05-23T00:00:00+00:002026-05-23T00:00:00+00:00

https://0x04am.com/blog/hello-world/<p>Every blog needs a first post. So here we are.</p>
<p>I've started and abandoned more blogs than I care to count. Draft posts rotting in Notion. Obsidian vaults full of half-thoughts. GitHub repos with a single commit titled <code>initial commit</code> and nothing else.</p>
<p>This time feels different. Probably because I'm writing this at 4am, which is when I'm either most productive or most delusional — and I've stopped being able to tell the difference.</p>

<p><code>0x04am</code> is where I write about things I'm actually building:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents</strong> — not the hype, the hard parts. Tool calling, memory, evals, the stuff that breaks in prod.</li>
<li><strong>Systems programming</strong> — Rust, Go, C when I'm feeling masochistic. Performance, concurrency, the usual chaos.</li>
<li><strong>Infrastructure</strong> — containers, edge functions, the invisible plumbing that makes software actually run.</li>
<li><strong>Everything else</strong> — anything I learn that feels worth writing down.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="what-this-blog-isn-t"><a class="zola-anchor" href="#what-this-blog-isn-t" aria-label="Anchor link for: what-this-blog-isn-t">🔗</a>What this blog isn't</h2>
<p>A content marketing play. I'm not selling a course. I'm not building an audience for an "AI startup" that pivots every three months. I'm just a person who writes code late at night and occasionally has thoughts worth sharing.</p>
<h2 id="the-format"><a class="zola-anchor" href="#the-format" aria-label="Anchor link for: the-format">🔗</a>The format</h2>
<p>Posts will be technical but readable. Code when it helps, prose when it doesn't. Short when the point is short. Long when the thing is actually complicated.</p>
<p>No comment section, no engagement bait, no "smash that like button." Just words.</p>
<h2 id="hello-then"><a class="zola-anchor" href="#hello-then" aria-label="Anchor link for: hello-then">🔗</a>Hello, then.</h2>
