🏗️ Early Summer: Launched my entrepreneurial journey with a sleek Jekyll website at mijug.net - because who doesn't love static site generators and independent consulting dreams? 💼✨

🦀 Mid Summer: Dove deep into the Rust ecosystem building a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) server! 🤖 Explored local AI models and discovered how legacy data can teach new tricks. Rust + AI = Mind blown 🤯

📝 Late Summer: Crafted a custom WordPress theme from scratch and wrestled with Gutenberg blocks. Currently mastering WordPress patterns because themes are more than just pretty faces! 🎨

** Early Winter** Rebuilding Pi5 with Debian 13/Trixie and rpi-image-gen v2

🤝 Throughout: Reconnected with amazing colleagues and navigated the "interesting times" of today's business landscape. Networking is everything! 🌐
