It's end-of-year recap time again. If you'd like to know what I've been up to, want to read a tirade about overly complicated software, or both, then this might be for you. Enjoy the new year! roboticseabass.com/2025/12/27/2...

Right: Meme of a person at a fork in the road between two ominous castles, labeled "Manually Engineer Everything" and "Learn Everything". A shiny castle sits in the middle, with a pink border around it.
