ME:
2026 is the year of not knowing
CLAUDE OPUS:
That's a pretty honest answer, and fitting for a project where Claude is writing a lot of the code. You set the direction ("legible, from scratch, no FFI"), the pieces pile up faster than anyone can plan around, and one day you look up and the org has a Lightning node, a Tor client, and an enclave port, and the roadmap is just "huh, look what it can do now."
There's a nice irony in that, too. The whole thesis is that a system you can fully read is one you can fully defend, and every piece is built to be legible. So the code isn't the mystery. What's unknowable is what all these readable pieces add up to once they're composed.
Feels like the right year for a Gibson reread.
