Code & Codex

Essays on code, meaning, and modern myth.

Code & Codex is a newsletter I started in early 2025. It’s a cyberpunk-inspired project that explores the liminal space between software engineering, encrypted knowledge, and the aesthetics of digital subculture.

I consider myself a seasoned technologist with a taste for storytelling. Code & Codex is where I weave together reflections on code, language, meaning, and permanence in the ever-shifting matrix of modern tech.

This newsletter isn’t a place for tutorials or trends — Code & Codex operates more like a digital grimoire: a dispatch of philosophical dev musings, underground signals, and long-form essays that examine the act of creation in code as both an engineering discipline and an artistic pursuit.

By bringing together themes like digital permanence, the search for truth, and the hacker-as-alchemist, I hope Code & Codex will resonate with readers who see technology not just as a tool, but as a form of intellectual and existential expression.

Through essays, commentary, and the occasional cryptic dispatch, I want Code & Codex to speak to those who write code not just to build — but to create meaning.

If any of this speaks to you, subscribe to Code & Codex on Substack and receive the latest dispatch straight to your inbox.
