Last week I attended Tech Week for the first time in my city and had a great time!
I was surprised by how much value came from conversations that weren't planned. It feels that in a world accelerated and misconstrued by technology, the best way to establish trust is often to meet face-to-face.
For those who regularly attend Tech Weeks, startup events, or hackathons:

One thing I've learned while building software is that there's a difference between successfully deploying code and knowing the application is ready for real users.

I m exploring an ambient desktop/terminal companion that grows as you complete deep work blocks (similar to Forest or Pengu, but tied directly to CLI events and terminal sessions).
The core tension is retention versus distraction:
If the companion relies on passive background triggers (git commits, compilation passes), users often forget it s running and the emotional attachment dies.
If it requires active care (clicks, feeding, manual status updates), it quickly becomes another chore that gets closed during high-focus work.
