Hi, I'm Christophe Lamy

I’m a builder and a humanist living in San Francisco. I previously built some businesses at the intersection of technology and real world atoms.

In 2023 I started teaching myself to code and in 2024 I chose to embark on an odyssey of creation. This website is a collection of my projects and musings during this phase of exploration and play.

A brief guide to this site

This is my little corner of the internet. It’s primarly intended for me but I’m really glad you’re here. I hope you will enjoy this space I cultivate and, if something here makes you pause and think, well, then I’m delighted.

Dailies are intended to be outlets for myself. I use Dailies to get an idea that’s been on my mind down on paper and think through it. Dailies are intended to be written in one sitting. You will find typos, dangling thought fragments and even posts interrupted mid-thought. My jumpy and erratic manner of thinking, as well as writing, can be evident. I sometimes revisit and fix obvious mistakes but my Dailies are not intended to be polished. I’m more likely to rewrite one as a v2 than substantially edit a previous post.

Thoughts are essays intended to convey a fully formed idea. They also serve as a playground for me to explore and think through a topic but they are intended to be thorough and complete. To that end Thoughts are wordsmithed and crafted, sometimes for weeks following their initial publication, both in form as well as occasionally in substance.

Stuff are retros on projects that I’ve built. This is my “show and tell” section. I haven’t made many Stuff posts to date due to the dauting task of collating, organizing, and conveying a “what, how, and learnings” into a retro fit for an external audience. That may change in the future.

If you’re lost and looking for a place to start, A Year of Creation is a great jumping off point to this site and also to me.
