    I've yet to be convinced all of this effort is worth it, compared to the ease of using a repository pattern and just using a fake for tests. And, like, I don't think we shouldn't b…

    Alright, we're halfway through the Pantheon scene where David hacks the data center with the satellite phone. Though, the phone moving with the vibration was always the more believ…

    I recommend installing Omarchy and playing with it. Read through the Omarchy repo to see how the things you liked and disliked were set up. Then install arch or Cachy or some other…
