# theocharis.dev

Jeremy Theocharis's personal blog at theocharis.dev. Writes about LLM-assisted engineering and writing, local-first software, and the tension between the two — he's a Local-First Conf 2026 speaker who also spends heavily on tokens. The blog has a companion [beliefs page](https://www.theocharis.dev/beliefs/) on delegation and thinking-support that his articles cite.

His stance is the reconciliation position in the [[anti-llm-discourse]] map: agree with nearly every anti-LLM argument, use them anyway, and try to describe the disciplined middle rather than either refusing or hyping. The load-bearing idea across his writing is [[credibility-as-slop-test]] — text is only good if you'd read it out loud unashamed.
