(when I wasn't even looking for a job)
(and discovering the future is free, but shallow)
(through careful iteration and validation)
(and realizing Chrome has become my comfortable crutch)
(and discovering the limits of my vibe coding)
(because manually clicking through websites is soul-crushing)
(and avoid getting fleeced by repair quotes)
(Building a quick emotion tracker that I promptly ignored)
(by creating a fake/trademark business strategy)
(that's slightly cursed)
(and discovering APIs don't have to be awful)
(and getting some unexpected tough love)
