Meditations on Analysis Paralysis
A meditation on how overthinking disguises itself as wisdom, and how clarity is more often earned through small, reversible steps than discovered through perfect plans.
I’m Sayed Hamid Fatimi, a software developer by craft, a philosopher by calling, and a lifelong student of truth. With roots in physics and a love for clean, expressive code, I build in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js—tools that let ideas take shape in the digital world. Beyond the syntax and structure lies a deeper pursuit. I write to explore the foundations of thought, reason, and reality. My books, The Philosophy of Reason and The Philosophy of Truth, are part of an ongoing journey—an attempt to weave clarity from complexity, and meaning from mystery. This space is where code meets contemplation. You’re welcome to walk the path with me at valeon.blog.

A contemplative exploration of fasting as a metabolic pause that lowers insulin, awakens glucagon and ketones, and gives the liver, brain, and cells the time and space they need to repair.
A reflection on the finite life of the knower against the seemingly unbounded horizon of knowledge, and on what it means to keep learning and speaking in the face of that tension.
An exploration of how mentality, self-confidence, and the willingness to cut the internal rope of restraint shapes our actions and the reality we come to inhabit.
A meditation on divine protection, destiny, and the quiet moment when mercy steps aside and leaves us to meet the consequences we have chosen.
