NIGHT OF 28 JUL 2025

Detach and attach have proven to be more of a pain in the ass than I thought. Maybe it's just GPT being dumb and teaching me wrong but I got it what I thought was mostly working... only to find out that reattaching was impossible because detach has been wrongly killing VMs this whole time and I didn't realize! SHIT.

The whole repo is a buggy mess rn but I'll fix it tmw WITH MY NEW LAPTOP :333

LATE EVENING OF 27 JUL 2025

I started today! This is my first attempt at trying to learn Go. I haven't bee fussing with wait groups or goroutines yet but I might be soon. ChatGPT has been teaching (not writing my code, teaching) me how to write Go, and the conventions it uses. It's not all that bad once you get in the flow, but the linter and formatter are getting kinda annoying. JUST LET ME WRITE MY SHITTY CODE IN PEACE

oh btdubs starting environments works now and it's super fast :3
