jaypix // ~/about.txt

Developer. Tinkerer. Chronic "one more feature" disease patient. I build things that are sometimes useful, often weird, and occasionally both.

I'm a Monster-Energy-addicted developer who builds things that make sense exist. I break stuff, reverse-engineer the breakage, and occasionally ship something cool. Most of what I do lives somewhere between "why would you build that" and "okay that's actually kind of neat."

I write things too — short stories, poetry, essays, the occasional restaurant review nobody asked for — and I put them on the internet instead of leaving them in a notes app to rot. I also built the markdown parser running my other site myself, which is either impressive or deeply unnecessary depending on who you ask.

$ status --report

monster cans: a number I'm not proud of
sleep debt: compounding

$ cat philosophy.md

"under construction" has been the status since day 1. it's a feature.

I believe in building in public, failing in public, and being honest about both. Most of my projects start as "wouldn't it be funny if" and end as a GitHub repo with one commit and a TODO list that's longer than the code. That's not a bug, it's a lifestyle.

The web should be weird, personal, and hand-built. No trackers, no frameworks where a few lines of CSS would do, no analytics counting how many people scrolled past my bad opinions. Just pages, made by a person, for whoever wanders by.

You can also find me at:

jaypix.dev — the workshop. still under construction (obviously)
jaypix.myjay.net — writings, diary, shrine, memes. the personal side
github.com/jaypixo — where the code goes to live. or die. depends
youtube @Jaypixo — music and sometimes dev content
spotify · jaypix — vibes only
x @jaypixoo — slower response

$ history | tail

# a non-exhaustive, mildly honest timeline
$ git log --oneline --all
started writing things → put them in a notes app → notes app rotted
built a markdown parser (remarker) because existing ones were "fine"
built a site to use the parser → myjay.net
built an AI assistant (syntonist) one conversation at a time
built a thing that compiles to HTML (webcompiler) → WIP, forever
started rewriting because code was messy → rewrite is also messy
deployed this neocities site → it counts as shipped
# the pattern: build → ship → rewrite → repeat

$ exit

That's the long and short of it. If you want to know what I'm doing right now, there's a /now page for that. If you want to see what I've built, /projects is that way. If you want to say hi, /contact works.

This page was not AI-generated. It was AI-assisted. There's a difference. Probably.
