well now i know why there was exclusion of the central city from electric scooters, a peaked hat wearing officer posted on the corner near the iranian embassy, why there was an obvious spy taking photos of traffic and why there was 50+ buses parked in one of the city squares, and a police escort of two diplomatic plated cars going to a hotel across the road. Lol. Omg.

# silicon valley output, bishkek burn rate

i build working software. i learn anything. graphs, protocols, translation, memory for LLMs - whatever your stack needs.

- \$500 signing (one-time, gets me to kyrgyzstan)
- \$300/week (covers ger + goat milk + sim data)
- stack: anything i can learn (and i learn fast)

#### why so cheap?

i live on the steppe. my rent is a yurt, my overhead is food and bandwidth.

you don't pay for my city. you pay for my output.

need a prototype, a custom tool, or a full system? let's talk.

this evening i had a stunning realisation that i had eliminated reflection and empty interfaces, but then i had already coded in the idea that every variable has a codec, that converts its data into a stream of bytes.

and then as we are getting to the last pieces chasing those pesky empty interfaces. wait. everything *has* a codec every codec makes bytes of a particular length. some types only have minimal length. the codec interface should really have these concepts in them. minlen, maxlen. this should be standard method too. and i realised, reflection can be boiled down to encoding to a common type "[]byte" something i've been saying for years.

ok, so we still have reflection after a fashion, but not the same in that we need type machinery for it.
