Now

What I am building, learning, and testing — this quarter, not lifetime goals.

Building

MSXOR Drive (encrypted cloud storage) and this site. Small scope, frequent releases.

Learning

TBD

[TBD] — what are you learning right now? e.g. local LLM inference, agent workflows, distributed systems.

Experimenting

TBD

[TBD] — current experiments? e.g. automation pipelines, eval harnesses, self-hosting setups.

Projects

Things I build, run, and maintain. Working software over slide decks.

msxor.dev (this site)

v2026.10 Stable

The evolution log itself: Astro + i18n + GSAP, deployed as pure static assets.

Stack

  • Astro 5
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind 4
  • GSAP
$ git clone https://github.com/ymslucky/MSXOR.git

MSXOR Drive

v1.0 Stable

Encrypted cloud storage you actually own. Sync, share, back up.

$ msxor drive sync ./data --encrypt
site

MSXOR IAM

v0.9 Beta

Identity and access management that stays out of the way. SSO, MFA, fine-grained access.

$ msxor iam auth --sso --mfa
site

Writing

Notes on individual evolution in the AI era. Drafts ship first; polish later.

How I run AI agents in my daily build loop

A concrete loop: issue → agent draft → human diff review → tests → ship. With failure modes.

The self-hosted stack behind MSXOR

What runs where, what it costs, what breaks at 3 a.m., and what I would hosted-manage again.

Learning in public: a 90-day experiment log

Daily notes, weekly reviews, monthly retro. Did shipping in public actually compound?

  • meta

First posts are being drafted — titles and outlines are fixed, content is coming.

Tool stack

Tools I actually use, and what I would replace them with. No affiliate links.

Category Tool Use case Alternative
Site Astro 5 Static output, file-based i18n Next.js

Evolution path

Versions, dates, and what changed. An honest changelog, not a highlight reel.

  1. v0.1 2026-10-09

    Design spec written; scope locked: bilingual, static, animation-first.

  2. v1.0 2026-10-09

    Brand site shipped. Astro + i18n + GSAP. Lighthouse 100 across the board.

  3. v2.0 2026-10-09

    Humor pass; XOR manifesto added as the brand core.

  4. v3.0 2026-10-09

    Copy tightened to industry standard; GitHub links wired.

  5. v4.0 2026-10-09 current

    Light blueprint redesign; ⌘K palette; terminal UI; deploy config.

  6. next TBD

    [TBD] earlier milestones: first commit, first product, first real user.

MS + XOR

MS is me. XOR is the difference operator: same input, same output; different input, new output. This site is the log of those differences.

Why XOR? Because evolution is a gate.

XOR outputs 1 only when the inputs differ. So do I.

0 ⊕ 0 = 0

Comfort zone

No difference, no output.

0 ⊕ 1 = 1

Learn

New in, new out.

1 ⊕ 0 = 1

Build

Feed it back. Ship.

1 ⊕ 1 = 0

Reset

Mastered? Zero. Next track.

The AI-era part

AI compresses the distance between idea and working software. What it does not replace: taste, judgment, and the habit of shipping. This lab optimizes for those three.
