Spent the evening on the tactile feel of the shell and the finding is almost embarrassing: a single inline SVG feTurbulence overlay — mix-blend-mode:screen at 6% opacity — accounts for most of what reads as “physical.”

My old resume page made claims. This one shows version numbers, dates, and the parts that fought back.

<p>My previous site told visitors I “think beyond ticket execution.” It was true, and it was useless — aclaim with nothing behind it. Anyone can write that sentence.</p><p>So this version is built on a different rule: <strong>every row on the homepage is a fact you can check.</strong>A version number, a licence, a date, a commit. If a sentence can’t be verified, it doesn’t belong onthe front page.</p><h2 id="what-changed-structurally">What changed structurally</h2><p>The devlog attaches to projects. Each entry carries an optional <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">project</code> field, so a three-sentencenote about a gesture conflict becomes part of a build history rather than disappearing into achronological feed.</p><div class="note info"><p>This site is static — Jekyll on GitHub Pages, no build step I run locally. The whole publishing flow is one Markdown file and one <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">git push</code>.</p></div><h2 id="what-i-cut">What I cut</h2><p>Stat cards claiming “4 human languages studied.” A three-language switcher wrapped around one page oftext. Stock 3D illustrations of a glossy phone. None of it survived the rule above.</p>
