Twice a month, I unpack complex cloud topics (AWS, Atlassian tools, and modern cloud systems) using stories from history, business, war, psychology, philosophy, design, and culture.
Each issue begins with a real-world story and ends with a clear, practical connection to a cloud concept: architecture decisions, cost tradeoffs, reliability, scale, failure modes, and tooling choices. From ancient empires to modern engineering disasters, I look at the patterns that repeat and what they can teach us about building better systems today.
If you enjoy learning across disciplines and want a deeper way to understand cloud architecture, cost, reliability, and tooling, this newsletter is for you.
It’s free, thoughtful, and arrives twice a month.
