About

Hi, I’m G. Vinayak Iyer. I write about the problems I run into while building software, debugging production issues, and experimenting with developer tools.

This blog is a running notebook for what I learn week by week: Rails, Ruby, React, JavaScript, local AI tooling, databases, background jobs, and the occasional meme-worthy debugging rabbit hole.

What I write about

• Practical Rails and Ruby debugging notes
• Sidekiq, Redis, and production incident learnings
• React and JavaScript development experiments
• Local-first AI developer tooling
• Notes from building and maintaining side projects

Tech Stack

This site is built with Astro, TypeScript, React components, Tailwind CSS, and Markdown content. It keeps the writing workflow simple while still supporting search, RSS, tags, generated Open Graph images, and light/dark mode.
