A small rounding error. A surprisingly interesting design decision.
I’m Charaf . I help lead product and engineering at Bricks. This site is my notebook: a photography habit I’m picking up, and the occasional essay.
Bricks is a visual site builder for WordPress. This site is built with it too.
In practice I help lead releases and AI, from the features that let AI use Bricks to how we use it to build and test.
I’m in the emails, the forum and the Facebook group every day. After that it’s bugs, bigger features, security and the Academy, because I like dabbling in different things.
I’ve always liked automating the work we keep doing by hand. It used to be scripts; now it’s mostly AI.
I also shipped Vim mode for the CSS editor. As far as I know, I’m its only user.
