Documentation

The wiki covers any technical subject, at the grain of one mechanism to a page. Some pages are working notes, some are opinionated guides, and some are attempts to explain a thing properly from first principles. They assume a technically astute reader with no particular exposure to the topic at hand.

Eight sections so far, ordered here as they appear in the sidebar:

Economics — how value gets created, priced, and moved. Almost all of it currently sits under finance and, beneath that, DeFi: the largest section of the wiki, running from what a blockchain is up through the options machinery built at bitsy.services. Regulation sits alongside it — the Bank Secrecy Act and the anti-money-laundering regime that decides what any of it is allowed to do — and fraud covers what happens where the rules do not reach, one page per mechanism from rug pulls to pig butchering.
AI — two halves. Getting useful work out of coding agents (context engineering, agentic workflows, prompt caching), and taking the models apart (neural networks, large language models).
Security — the operational side: handling keys, secrets, and credentials on a developer machine.
Social — building and moderating communities on social platforms.
Computer Science — the durable ideas underneath the rest: entity addressing, DAGs, content addressing and what it costs to keep the bytes alive, zero-knowledge proofs, and a recurring interest in canonicalization bugs.
Git — an opinionated workflow rather than a command reference: small complete commits, linear history.
Hugo — the static site generator this wiki is built with. Where URLs come from, which of the files in layouts/ renders a given page, the asset pipeline, and the internal-link checking Hugo does not do.
Microsoft — programming against Microsoft’s platforms, starting with Outlook.

Pages link to each other heavily on purpose. Following the links tends to be a better way through the material than reading a section top to bottom. A subject that fits none of the eight gets a ninth.
