Three years of releases, mostly from before AI became the default way to code side projects.</p> </blockquote> <h2 id="i-put-a-working-shell-on-my-personal-site-and-i-could-not-stop-adding-to-it" class="anchor-link"><a href="#i-put-a-working-shell-on-my-personal-site-and-i-could-not-stop-adding-to-it">I put a working shell on my personal site and I could not stop adding to it<span class="pilcrow">&nbsp;¶</span></a></h2> <p>A personal website without a terminal always felt incomplete to me.</p> <p>Not a screenshot of a terminal.
