Why I take my time
I don't need strackt to succeed; I've got a job and enough money. I take my time because the standard I'm after — reproducible, right, something you can trust — only comes from the effort nobody sees.
Month 63
Month 63 of building strackt. April was a refactor month: 169 issues, 400 commits, an 18-month architectural correction. Progress you only feel looking back.
