About
The Dungeon is a place for thinking in public.
Personal writing by Gavin Clive on software, systems, work, taste, places, and whatever else seems worth thinking through.
What I write about
Most of the writing here starts from software: frontend engineering, product systems, infrastructure, performance, design decisions, and the quiet tradeoffs behind shipping good interfaces.
It does not have to stay inside engineering. Some days the subject might be work, food, places, habits, or taste. The useful boundary is not the category. It is whether the thought is specific enough to keep.
