tech brain

in school when we learned about computers they were intricate and abstract: transistors assembled into raw logic, compilers that compiled themselves, networks of matrices that found patterns in shapeless masses of data. we celebrated simplicity, but complexity was part of the beauty of the thing too, and it was a challenge and a joy to put on some techno at two in the morning and try holding entire systems in my head, anticipating bad inputs and edge cases, searching all night for that elusive maestro feeling when all the threads lined up just perfect.
