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.

2.6k COMMITS YTD
+266% VS 2025 YTD

- 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.
