side_quests()
The human side of the character sheet. Water, wind, music, and a past life as a London tour guide.
Wingfoiling
Wind + water + board. Sounds made up but it is real and addictive.
Cold Water Swimming
Self-inflicted suffering that doubles as a reset button.
Paddleboarding
Balance + calm + occasionally falling in.
Music
I play 4 instruments: bass, keys, drums, and guitar. A story for another time.
London Tour Guide
Former life. I can do the accent if you ask nicely.
"The IDE is dead. Vibe engineering killed it."
With coding agents in the loop, the stack matters a lot less. The bottleneck is now intent, not syntax.
If you disagree, cool. See you on the other side in a year. 😎
