He builds the authoring system this book is about.
Viktor is the founder and CTO of Earthgrid. He calls himself a technology optimizer. He finds where a system's promise and its behavior part ways, and he builds the tool that works in that gap.
He started in 6502 assembly on the Apple II, where every byte counts. In 1996 he ranked the same site in all ten positions on a search results page. Since then he has been testing industry consensus against actual reality. Sometimes it holds up. Often it does not.
Today he builds with AI. He describes what the code should do, the AI writes it, and he reads it and fixes it. He does not treat AI as an employee. To him it is a pattern synthesizer.
Measured on his Earthgrid profile.
12.6 to 1
He gives his AI 12.6 tokens for every token it writes back, averaged over 10,446 requests. That puts him in the top tier, five to one and up.
Relational first
Read from eight of his writing samples: relational 42 percent, operational 25, analytical 15, visionary 9, political 9.
Direct and literal
He says the point plainly and means what is written. To write to him, open with care and name who is affected.
Earthgrid is a Find Engine. It is not a search engine.
A search engine has turned into a contest. You are up against your competitors, fighting for attention. A Find Engine is a place to get found.
Old school, on purpose
You list yourself, using the best SEO practices. Your listing stays yours, and you can leave whenever you choose.
Driven by community
Earthgrid does not run on advertising. It runs on the community that uses it, so nobody can buy their way to the top.
Ranked by context
Your ranking comes from context and relevance. Power and authority do not decide where you land.
