honestly, i was very late to open source.

for the longest time, i never understood why people built things for strangers on the internet without expecting anything back.

code, to me, always had to lead somewhere measurable.

but somewhere along the way, something shifted.

now i think i get it a little.

the joy of building something elegant at 2am.
leaving behind tiny artifacts of thought on the internet.

maybe open source was always a little closer to art.
