Spent the afternoon cleaning up my GitHub instead of doing literally any of the things I was supposed to do today.

New picture, rewritten readme, a dozen dead repos gone.

Looking at blogapp_backend is embarrassing, not because the code's bad, though it is, but because you can see exactly how lost you were. "fix bug." "fix bug again." "why does this work now."

I used to think keeping it all up was some kind of honesty. Turns out nobody scrolls your commit history for that. They check the pinned repos and move on. Forty half-finished projects don't make you look experienced, they just bury the two things you're actually proud of.

So I deleted most of it. Not shame, more like tidying a desk.

The readme took a while because I kept writing things that sounded like LinkedIn and deleting them. Eventually I just wrote what's true: I like Go, I like understanding why something works before I use it, and most of this is me figuring that out in public.

Nothing about my code changed. It's just nicer to open the profile without wincing. Sometimes maintenance is the whole task.
