Welcome
Hello! I’m Kush Vaidya. This is my quiet corner of the internet where I write essays, collect curiosities, and document thoughts on technology, philosophy, and things I find interesting.
I prefer the open, serendipitous web of the early 2000s over walled algorithmic gardens. You will find no popups, tracking banners, or animated carousels here—just plain text, honest ideas, and occasional footnotes.
What I’m Up To Now
- Writing: Long-form essays exploring craftsmanship in software, independent thinking, and digital minimalism.
- Reading: Classic philosophy, histories of computing, and science non-fiction.
- Building: Fast, clean software tools with minimal moving parts.
You can read more about my background and beliefs on the about page.
