Relaunching vStaub
Why this site is starting small: a working surface for infrastructure, AI, architecture, career observations, and useful experiments.
Read the postThomas Staub / vStaub
vStaub is where I work through infrastructure, architecture, AI, and the systems around technical work.
Some posts are technical. Some are about decisions, trade-offs, career, and the parts of engineering that do not fit neatly into diagrams.

What belongs here
Ideas I keep returning to.
This site is for the ideas I keep returning to: infrastructure architecture, network engineering, AI-assisted work, decision quality, operating models, and the trade-offs that show up when technology meets real organizations.
A few threads
The themes underneath the posts.
Infrastructure and architecture
How technical intent turns into systems people can operate, change, and explain under pressure.
Network engineering and observability
The practical loop between design, change, validation, telemetry, and what production teaches after the diagram is done.
AI as a working system
Where AI helps with context, drafting, review, and decision support, and where it needs boundaries to stay useful.
Career, decisions, and operating models
The parts of technical work that depend on judgment, incentives, communication, and reducing uncertainty with other people.
Experiments, tools, and useful rabbit holes
Small investigations worth capturing because they sharpen a workflow, a taste, or a way of thinking.
