## Articles

- [Local AI without pretending the cloud does not exist](https://kaimdt.dev/blog/local-ai-without-the-cloud-tax): A practical boundary between private work on the device and the parts a cloud service is genuinely good at.
- [Where Rust earns its place in a TypeScript application](https://kaimdt.dev/blog/rust-at-the-edge-of-a-typescript-app): I do not reach for Rust everywhere. I use it where a smaller, stricter boundary pays for itself.
- [Why I keep a technical notebook](https://kaimdt.dev/blog/welcome): A small place for the details that are easy to forget once a project finally works.
- [The boring parts are what make software scale](https://kaimdt.dev/blog/scalable-applications): Scaling usually starts with clearer boundaries and better measurements, not a larger infrastructure diagram.
