WATER RUNS DRY
I think when you are building out your imagination that it is important to ground your work in baseline checks.
Look I would love to just continue to building unparty.app out everyday, but then I would not eat, and there would not be an unparty.app.
Knowing when to pivot, seek new connection, or walk away for a second until an idea becomes clear is often the best thing you can do before you reach burn out.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY
- RAN THE SAME INVESTIGATION FOR 2026 YTD. SAME METHOD, NOW SCRIPTED + REPEATABLE.
- JAN 2026 : 225 commits
- FEB 2026 : 317 commits
- MARCH 2026 : 471 commits
- APR–JUL 2026 : 1,551 commits
More commits, less net line churn — 24 active repos vs. 29 at this point in 2025, net lines down 72% YTD. Smaller, more surgical, more repeatable.
Full 2026 breakdown → STILL GROWING.
