It bothers me that real life has such terrible UX. There is no 'Undo' button in a conversation, and the documentation for human interaction is severely outdated.

What do you do?
I build robust systems as a Senior Fullstack Engineer and deconstruct them as a Speculative Fiction author.
Why?
I am driven by a deep fascination with the architecture of systems, whether they are built from code or language. Engineering allows me to construct order, while writing gives me the space to explore the inevitable human errors and 'glitches' that disrupt it.
What should we read?
I always recommend Raoul Renier’s 'Az Exorcista' (The Exorcist). Specifically the novelette 'A párviadal' (The Duel). It is dark, baroque, and philosophical—in my view, the absolute pinnacle of Hungarian fantasy.
