about
Mark Krymov
Software dev with a design background. I currently lead launch.ist, an agency specializing in bootstrapped product launches.
I have a passion for both human and computer languages, and for cultures different from my own. Current preoccupations: history, swimming, weightlifting, and software.
Reach me by email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), or via the agency at launch.ist.
What this site is
A long-form notebook. Posts get written when an idea has stayed in my head long enough to be worth pinning down. Subscribe via RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed — or read the raw site index for LLMs at /llms.txt.
