The small debugging habit that changed my rainy evening in Istanbul
I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck and learning seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
The detail that surprised me was how much a neighborhood park changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the setup for a while
