Make It Anyway: Why Hand-Built Code Matters
Coding assistants can produce useful code in seconds, but speed is not the only reason to program. A small C++ game loop shows how manual work can restore curiosity, learning, and a sense of ownership.

Turns Are Better Than Radians: A Practical Way to Stop Wasting Pi
Most trig APIs take radians, so code often multiplies by TAU (2π) just to call sin() and cos(). Representing angles in turns (1 = a full circle) keeps units consistent, reduces pointless conversions, and can improve floating-point exactness for common angles like quarter-turns.
