My first long drive: the coastal road to the Gold Coast
Six days with Susmita, coastal stops on the way north, a visit to Brisbane, and a Coffs Harbour sunset on the way home.
Hey, I’m Suyog.
A curious
little corner
of the internet.
I build things for the web. And sometimes,
I step away to find a story worth telling.
Code. Books. Life. Repeat.Scroll a little
The journal
Things that stayed with me.
Places, pages, and a few
thoughts along the way.
My personal brain and software factory: Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode
Hermes for personal thinking, Claude Code and Codex checking each other's technical work, and OpenCode through OpenRouter when I hit usage limits.
Putting AI into a product feature without making it the product
What building Care Signals at ShiftCare taught me about adding AI to a feature in a way people can trust and review.
Leadership and Self-Deception: leading starts with what the other person wants
Notes on the Arbinger Institute's book, and the idea I keep coming back to: leadership is understanding what the other person needs.
Parallel work with Orca: building my software factory
Separate workspaces, clear handoffs, and a review queue I can actually keep up with.
Skills that travel: Claude, Codex, and Hermes
Reviewing the instructions around my agents, and separating installed workflows from proven habits.
Being a tech lead when writing code gets faster
What my implementation work, reviews, and agent workflows are teaching me about leading delivery.
Norwegian Wood
My first Murakami novel: a quiet, unsettling story about love, grief, and the difficulty of reaching other people.
Retreat to Tatopani
A rainy ride out of Pokhara, a Kindle in my bag, and a welcome break from the everyday.

The person behind the pixels
A developer. A reader.
A work in progress.
Good software, a good book, a change of scenery.
There’s always something to be curious about.
