About

GlitchyKernel is an independent engineering publication focused on understanding how computers actually work — from transistor-level behavior and operating system internals to distributed systems, compilers, GPU architectures, and modern AI infrastructure.

The topics here span low-level systems programming, memory management, networking, performance optimization, compilers, kernels, GPUs, reverse engineering, Linux internals, and infrastructure design.

Some posts are deep technical breakdowns. Others are experiments, implementation notes, architecture explorations, or investigations into unexpected behavior discovered while building things.

GlitchyKernel is not designed to be a generic tutorial site or a fast-content developer blog. The goal is depth over speed, understanding over abstraction, and curiosity over trends.

Everything here is part of an ongoing attempt to understand the stack — from hardware signals to high-level software systems — one investigation at a time.

The blog exists somewhere between a research notebook, an engineering lab, and a technical journal. Every article starts with a question, usually followed by hours of debugging, reading specifications, tracing execution paths, benchmarking strange behavior, or rebuilding systems from first principles just to understand why they behave the way they do.
