heypascal.me is LIVE.
My home on the internet. Months of building, rewriting, second-guessing every pixel.
Full-stack engineer, founder, writer — one site, whole picture.
If you've got something to build — an API, an AWS setup, a document workflow — the work-with-me section has real prices and a direct way to start. No pitch deck required.
Here's what I built and what it cost me 🧵

We’re literally in the early stages of a paradigm shift
Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model:
- steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions
- generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time!
- simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini
We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.

In a monolith, a bug lives in one place. In microservices, one user action can cross 5+ services.
Signup: Auth → User → Notification → Email provider. It fails halfway — where do you look?
Without centralised logging and tracing, you open four dashboards and four log formats, and you guess. Each service can honestly say "it worked on my side."

The better pattern: the repository layer.
All DB access lives in one place. Controllers ask the repository; they never touch the ORM. Schema knowledge — joins, filters, transaction boundaries — lives in one module per entity.

One mistake I see in backend codebases: ORM queries scattered everywhere.
Controllers query the DB. Services query the DB. Helpers query the DB. Change one column and you're grep-ing the whole repo, praying you found every query that touches it.

Anthropic filed to go public. The S-1 is where the takes stop: revenue, compute spend, margins, all public for the first time. For builders, the number to watch is serving cost vs revenue per user. That ratio decides whether models stay premium or become a utility.

Anthropic filed to go public. The S-1 is the interesting part: the first real numbers on what running the model layer actually costs.
Anthropic has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC related to its proposed IPO.

Anthropic’s IPO filing reveals just how extraordinary the economics of frontier AI have become.
$16.3B in revenue in just six months, yet still investing enormous sums in compute and infrastructure.
The real test for public markets won’t just be how fast AI grows, but whether that growth can become sustainable and profitable at scale.
We’re entering a fascinating chapter for the AI industry.
