-One day I'm building an AI agent.
+Most repositories here started with a completely reasonable question:
 
-The next day it's talking to a brokerage API.
+### *"wait... can I actually build that?"*
-
-Then somehow there's a distributed worker system,  
-an MCP server, three Docker containers and a database involved.

-**Most of my projects start with:**
+The answer is usually:
 
-### *"wait... could I actually build that?"*
+**yes.**
 
-**and then things get out of hand.**
+The second answer is usually:
+
+**this is getting slightly out of hand.**

+
+AI agents, infrastructure, developer tools, SaaS, financial systems,  
+game experiments and whatever seemed like a good idea that week.
+
+I don't really have a niche.
+
+**I have a GitHub account and poor resistance to interesting ideas.**

-🎮 occasionally opening Unreal Engine and creating another problem
+🎮 making games because normal software apparently wasn't enough
 
-🐧 Linux machines doing questionable amounts of work
+🐧 convincing Linux machines to participate in all of the above
