Hey there👋

I'm Mutasim.

I write software and read a lot of philosophy and theology. Most people find this combination odd. I find it natural. The questions are different but the shape of thinking is the same.

Outside the codebase, I spend time in my lab building things that seem worth building. Whether they were necessary is a question I usually answer after the fact.

What I care about

🛠️Code & Systems🏛️Philosophy📿Theology✍️Writing

On my mind lately

Aristotle's Metaphysics and Ibn Rushd's commentary on it, whether distributed consensus is fundamentally a philosophical problem, and what distinguishes a good abstraction from a merely convenient one.
