lab notes

The last version?(apparently)

not adding -final to my directory names from now on.


Six month ago I named a folder JARVIS-MK2-final

I genuinely believed it.

I had planned to make the core assistant, add some features, keep adding a feature or two here and there. I thought I had known what JARVIS was supposed to be.

Turns out I had only figured out what that version of me wanted it to be.

Today I am sketching out JARVIS MK3, and it shares surprisingly little with MK2. Different architecture. Different philosophy. Different goals.

Funny how projects evolve. You don’t just rewrite code—you rewrite assumptions.

I’ve stopped trying to build the “final version.” That phrase ages horribly.

I guess its just about reaching a point every now and then where I look at my old “Perfect version” and quietly smile before deleting half of the code.
