Five years ago, a concept began to take shape in my mind, inspired by the ingenious practices of top Formula One engineers. One engineer, in particular, caught my attention: Adrian Newey. Known for his exceptional aerodynamic designs, Newey has maintained a fascinating habit since his university days. He carries a notebook, diligently recording every idea and concept that crosses his mind. Over the years, regardless of which team he works with, Newey revisits these notebooks, mining them for ideas that could revolutionize his current designs.
This practice resonated with me deeply. As a platform engineer, I found myself frequently reinventing solutions at different companies, often implementing similar systems from scratch. I wondered: What if I had my own version of Newey's notebook? A repository where I could document ideas, code snippets, frameworks, and proven systems for future reference and iteration?
This site will document that journey.
