After 3,500 commits, it is finally time to close the laptop and grab a mint tea. 🇲🇦

The end of 2025 was a blur of code. From September through December, I was locked in a massive sprint, averaging around 30 commits every single day. It was a period of absolute focus and significant progress for my projects.

But today, January 5th, the scenery has changed. I'm ringing in my birthday not behind a screen, but under the Moroccan sun. ☀️

This year taught me a crucial lesson: elite output requires elite recovery. You can't sustain that level of intensity without stepping back to recharge. I'm grateful for the work we accomplished, but right now, I'm just as grateful for the pause.

Here is to recharging before the next big build. Cheers! 🥂
