<p class="exp-body">
The task here is simple: to reduce work, it's a simple investment. The choice of picking the correct
bottleneck is as important as the tool itself, as this gives it use. If it's never used, it never creates
value. The same goes for uptime, it's important that stability is almost perfect, as downtime undermines
the utility of having the tool. Remember that making and using a tool also creates debt for future
maintenance of the tool.
<br>
To adhere to this, I often choose Golang or Python as they are cheap to maintain. Golang has good
stability because it is easy to code and compile checks give early error detection. A word of caution on
AI generated tools: while they are cheap to make, the maintenance debt grows exponentially, as the code is
often poorly understood by the team and difficult to reason about over time.

<span class="exp-title">Story vs Fundamental value</span>
</div>
<p class="exp-body">
The truth I keep coming back to is simple: find value grounded in the fundamental numbers of a company.
<br>
My approach is rooted in fundamental analysis using SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q), earnings reports, profitability, liquidity, risk factors, and long-term business sustainability. In low-transparency situations I rely on structured cross-validation across sources.
<br>
A pattern I keep seeing is CEOs speaking just close enough to reality to generate a short-term price boost, then moving the goalposts when reality catches up. What companies state in filings and what they communicate to retail or even professional investors can be two very different stories. Guidance only needs to reach far enough into the future to say almost anything.

<p class="exp-body">I love my custom Linux setup. I use Hyprland, which automatically arranges app windows
on my screen so everything stays organized without dragging things around. I also use Quickshell, which
lets me customize menus, shortcuts, and system controls to work exactly how I want.
My system is based on Arch Linux or Manjaro Linux, which are versions of Linux that give you more
control and customization than a typical computer setup. The result is a clean, fast, and super
efficient desktop thats hard to go back from.

Programming can be a task, but for me it's a source of joy. This is something I do as a hobby, and I
don't use AI much. It's about having fun and making a fool of yourself. It's not about how good it is,
in this case, I'd rather just listen to music and drink a cup of tea. I enjoy the struggle to debug, the
beauty in understanding why a bug is there to begin with.
</p>
<br>
<p class="exp-body">
The text editor I use most is VS Code, but I love the Neovim setup as it enables me to code on a
low-level system without a desktop environment being necessary. I do most of my coding on my own
desktop, synced with Git to other systems, like the server that hosts this website, which I have built
myself. The creation of this website is more of a fun dumb activity for me... go click on one of the
movie posters and see.
