I turned GitHub contribution graphs into a 3D building.
Every day becomes a glowing window. Recent activity faces front; earlier weeks wrap around the side.

One reason many IT professionals, engineers, and scientists become highly skilled thinkers is that they spend much of their time solving problems. Problem-solving forces you to understand how things work, why they fail, and how to recover when something goes wrong.
There is a difference between someone who can implement a system and someone who can troubleshoot it. The person who troubleshoots often develops a deeper understanding because they are constantly investigating failures, identifying root causes, and exploring different solutions. You can build a system by following documentation, but truly understanding a system comes from diagnosing and fixing its problems.
The same principle applies to life. Every problem you solve adds experience and teaches you new ways of thinking. Over time, you become better at recognizing patterns, adapting to unexpected situations, and making decisions under pressure.
That is why many engineers and scientists are successful problem-solvers beyond their fields. They have spent years facing challenges, breaking them down into smaller pieces, and finding solutions. When something goes wrong, their first instinct is not to panic but to analyze the situation and work through it systematically.
I believe I’ve become smarter because I am constantly solving problems. Every day brings a new challenge, and every challenge teaches me something. The more problems you solve, the more knowledge, experience, and judgment you gain.
I'm not very happy with the code quality and I think agents bloat abstractions, have poor code aesthetics, are very prone to copy pasting code blocks and it's a mess, but at this point I stopped fighting it too hard and just moved on. The agents do not listen to my instructions in the AGENTS.md files. E.g. just as one example, no matter how many times I say something like:
"Every line of code should do exactly one thing and use intermediate variables as a form of documentation"
They will still "multitask" and create complex constructs where one line of code calls 2 functions and then indexes an array with the result. I think in principle I could use hooks or slash commands to clean this up but at some point just a shrug is easier.
Yes I think LLM as a judge for soft rewards is in principle and long term slightly problematic (due to goodharting concerns), but in practice and for now I don't think we've picked the low hanging fruit yet here.
