Learning out loud

Untangling thoughts and sharing discoveries - Per Stark

Welcome to my corner of the internet. Here I'm thinking, learning, and documenting as I go. I write about what interests me, puzzles I'm working through, and the occasional insight that seems worth sharing.

Much like open source code, I believe ideas grow stronger when shared and examined openly. This blog is my small contribution to that collective knowledge pool - messy parts, revisions, and all. Some posts will be polished, others more like thinking drafts. All are part of learning out loud.
