Hidden Easter Egg

▸ hidden command found

welcome, careful tab-presser. you found the secret. enjoy a fun fact: i once spent two days using an llm to spec a feature before writing any code, shipped 76 files and 11,400 lines of qr-based attendance tracking, and now i spec everything that way. the future is ai-augmented engineering. it's already here.
