works on my machine. ship it.
A few high schoolers in Auckland who build things after class — and, let's be honest, during class too. We should be revising for exams. We are not.
Some of us make games. Some of us wire up breadboards and Arduinos. Some of us reverse-engineer silicon we don't have the datasheet for. The skill distribution is, let's say, uneven.
Stack ranges from Godot and GDScript, through breadboard jumper wires and Arduino sketches, to mainline kernel patches and bare-metal firmware — depending on who's talking. Held together by curiosity, spite, and whatever we read the night before (or during third period).
We are not professionals. The commit history is evidence — and also the documentation.
what we do:
- write code
- break code, then bisect it
- read register dumps, datasheets, and YouTube tutorials with equal seriousness
- short a pin occasionally
- ship it anyway
what we don't do:
- write tests
- finish on the first try
- pay attention in class
- agree on tabs vs spaces
if it works, we're still going to figure out why. if it doesn't, that's tonight's problem.
