I wanted to remap one key on my new keyboard. To do that, I read 25,000 lines of 8051 assembly.
Windows 8 was correct. Metro was correct. Microsoft saw convergence before anyone and got laughed off the stage for it. Fifteen years later Valve and Google are eating the lunch Microsoft left on the counter.
640,000 hostile requests, Claude hacking BSD and FFmpeg, and the expensive realization that my router is on borrowed time.
I wanted a wireless keyboard and ended up finding the factory behind half the brands on AliExpress.
I boilerplated too close to the sun and ended up with a new way to build web apps. And somehow it's not a framework.
GitHub is bad and the only alternative I actually want is gated by Bluesky moderation. So nothing.
I added a blog to my portfolio site. Astro got out of the way entirely. That's rarer than it sounds.
I bought a Lenovo V14 out of desperation, built a desktop two years later, and somehow the laptop is still working. It just changed jobs.

I asked Claude to take the RAADS-R. I expected a polite refusal. I did not get a polite refusal.
