-Welcome to my new digital garden. This space is designed to be a reflection of my philosophy: **simplicity is the ultimate sophistication**.
+First post for the site. Mostly a smoke test: headings, lists, code blocks, sidenotes, and citations all need to survive the MDX pipeline.
 
-## Why Minimalism?
+## What this checks
 
-In a world full of noise, I find peace in clarity. This website is built with:
+The site is built with:
 
-- **Next.js 15**: For bleeding-edge performance.
-- **Tailwind CSS**: For utility-first styling.
-- **MDX**: For rich, interactive content.
+- **Next.js** for routing and rendering.
+- **Tailwind CSS** for the interface.
+- **MDX** for posts that need components inline.
 
 ## The Detail
 
-Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. <Citation id="jobs" index={1} />
+The goal is a writing setup that stays plain until a post needs diagrams, notes, or citations. <Citation id="jobs" index={1} />

 ### Code Snippet Test
 
-Here is how I configured the font:
+Here is the font setup pattern:
 
 ```typescript
-const inter = Inter({
-  variable: "--font-inter",
+const instrumentSans = Instrument_Sans({
+  variable: "--font-instrument-sans",
   subsets: ["latin"],
   display: "swap",
 });
 ```
 
-## Future Plans
+## Next
 
-I plan to write about:
-1. Software Architecture
-2. Design Systems
-3. The Zen of Coding
+Things worth writing down:
+
+1. GPU kernels
+2. Multi-agent systems
+3. Research code that survives contact with experiments
