 look, my work of the first half of 2024 and with a whole month me doing my darnedest to catch the bug couldn't find it

so i made this thing, spent 6 months on it, it is useless

how do you think i feel right now about that?

yes, been 7 weeks trying to do what i think i need to do to fix it

because of the pre-shame

if i'd actually put taht out and someone goes "hey, this thing is broken" i would have been shame

and even, someone claimed to be running my code

and they didn't tell me it was broken, and i knew it was broken because i had been testing it constantly for months

idk what to say

calm your little heart but the wrong answer is gonna ket people killed
