Coming Soon
Where ancient wisdom meets modern building.
Blog, vlog, and newsletter by Bill Heyman.
Quill & Qubit lives in the space between — where the timeless and the cutting-edge meet. Technology, philosophy, culture, history, science, AI, and the connections between all of them.
40 years of shipping software — from Apple II assembly to IBM mainframes to the first iPhone app with 1M downloads to AI-augmented development.
Stoic philosophy, Hofstadter's strange loops, Keats on beauty and truth, Camus on the absurd. Ideas that outlast the technology they're applied to.
Where Seneca meets sprint planning. Where topology informs software architecture. Where ancient wisdom makes you a better builder.
AI-powered software development at superhuman speed. What happens when 40 years of pattern recognition meets AI execution.
Watch real products get built with AI — from idea to deployed in days, not months.
Prompt engineering, context management, architecture patterns. What actually works in practice.
The 9-month Roshal miracle without AI vs. the 9-day prototype with it. Lived experience, not theory.
What AI changes about craft, careers, and the meaning of “developer.” The solo builder renaissance.
Essays, videos, and interactive explorations across technology and culture.
Learning through construction. Wire a CPU, train a neural net, build a compiler.
Ancient wisdom applied to modern building. Marcus Aurelius on code review. Seneca on shipping.
The history of computing told by someone who lived the IBM-to-iPhone-to-AI arc.
Revealing hidden structure in everyday technology. Electromagnetic spectra, ray tracing, binary formats.
Seeing the world through computational structures. Algorithms, proofs, data visualization.
Everything is an encoded message waiting to be parsed. Files, signals, writing systems.
Quill & Qubit is coming soon. Get in touch if you want to know when we launch.
