Current quests

What I'm actively tending. Quests rotate; the garden keeps what they leave behind.

• Building an openings trainer to fix my vibe-based chess

  status: scoping the app, still arguing with myself about the stack

• Learning quant from zero without it turning into gambling

  status: killing the get-rich fantasy, paper trades only

• Pwning my own ADHD on HackTheBox

  status: two methods shipped, eight on the bench

On the reading pile

• Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows (rereading, slowly)
• Fortune's Formula by William Poundstone
