<h2>{{ page.title }}</h2>
<p>
I was once consumed by a Promethean ambition—to delineate the deepest
mysteries of computation; to wrest from the silicon its most jealously guarded
secrets.
</p>
<p>
To examine software, we must first have recourse to hardware. Yet, as
becoming acquainted with the machine's intricacies formed a great hindrance to
my speed, I resolved to employ gigantic abstractions; and disturbed, with
profane fingers, its galvanic symphony.
</p>
<p>
In youthful fervor, I mistook corporate caprice for boundless progress,
self-aggrandizement for grand vision; and stitched together soulless
fragments of unhallowed frameworks.
</p>
<p>
I have seen what festers beneath the promise of abstraction—the bloat, the
waste, the corrosive comfort of ignorance. As I beheld the accomplishment of my
toils, I shuddered to think that future ages might curse me as their pest.
</p>
<p>
These pages serve as witness to my solitary labor—each banished dependency
a victory against decay, every iteration an act of purification. In them, I
have measured efficacy without mercy; I have rejected the ceremonial
scaffolding that veils the true visage of their grotesque creations.
</p>
<p>
The measurements do not lie. If I am the architect of an unalterable evil,
these chronicles record my search for redemption in Nature's parsimony. Whether
they stand as a monument to my deliverance or condemn me to wander the frozen
wastes of my own creation, only time will reveal.
