2026.01 Release Notes

TL;DR - In 2026.01, I started parental leave, started my Recurse Center batch, began learning Rust, released my first Rust crate, read 6 (short) books, built a web game, got a bowling ball, wrote 19 posts and hit 1000 blog posts on my blog, improved my vibe engineering workflows, and generally tried to figure out how to be a stay-at-home-dad.

• High: Recurse Center has been fun (Build)

• Low: Figuring out full-time childcare while Megna back at work (Profit)

• Seed: Baby is sleep training and sleeping through night (Health)
