Curiosity is
a feature.
I’m interested in the layer below the obvious one: the protocol behind the button, the forgotten convention, the elegant little hack that makes a complicated thing legible again.
This is my public workbench. Some projects are polished. Some are tagged WIP. All of them are attempts to leave a system more understandable than I found it.

the trade
Not a loyalty test. Just the things that stay out of the way.
