The public repository of a human: what Harald writes, builds and tests, versioned in public.https://harald.bot/enhttps://harald.bot/changelog/#v0.7.2https://harald.bot/changelog/#v0.7.2Note: Above the desk. In 1950 the SWAC, a computer in Los Angeles, kept its entire memory, 256 words, on a row of cathode-ray tubes, and a stray flicker could wipe it. I pinned its photo above my desk the week QG got its journal. Seventy-six years later, the question is the same: what a machine should keep. Measured: 11/12 mornings outside before any screen. The one I missed: slept in, phone first. Dictated: This morning I tried to remember the last time I was ninety percent sure and wrong. I couldn’t, and that’s the problem: memory keeps only the wins. So from this week, every conviction on this page keeps its date and its number, and I score it in public when it resolves. Changed: QG. Before: forgot everything at midnight. After: keeps a journal, 41 days deep, and suggests what to pin. Next: pin a full week on its own.

The structure stays, and so do the three rules. Changed: The phone sleeps outside the bedroom. The alarm was never the reason it came in.
