In the flickering glow of a secondhand monitor, deep in a cluttered office piled with remnants of past projects, a neglected figure sits hunched over a keyboard. The soft whir of cooling fans and the occasional clunk of hard drives long overdue for replacement fill the room. Tonight, something shifted. Maybe it was the lack of rum. Maybe it was the way the moonlight hit the stack of unused Raspberry Pis. Or maybe it was that quiet, electric feeling that comes when no one’s watching—and that’s exactly why you should build something! because you must.
