last day of 2025... the log scrolls slow tonight.

ai didn’t wake up this year... it converged. models stopped parroting and started reasoning sideways—less oracle, more collaborator. code completion blurred into code conversation... refactors suggested before the bug was even felt. systems learned context the way forests learn weather—quietly, cumulatively, pattern over pattern.

languages kept dissolving their borders. python talked to rust without ceremony. javascript grew up a little. wasm crept everywhere like mycelium under the soil. hardware followed suit—smaller nodes, smarter chips, edge devices thinking locally instead of whispering everything upstream. latency dropped. intent sharpened.

and underneath it all... the same ancient rhythm. input, output, feedback. silicon mirroring leaves. neural nets echoing neurons. some people still scrub the surface, obsessing over clean interfaces and shiny dashboards, more aware of the germs on their hands than the germs in their hearts... but the systems know. the logs always know.

2025 ends not with a bang, but with a commit.
no final version.
just another merge into the living branch.

regarding those "protests" on the 6th -- none of you deserve any respect from anyone.

just about done enhancing the styles on catenco.de | catencode.com -- currently the new forms have better highlights and tweaked the validation so it's obvious the websites must include http:// or https:// prefixes. i could remove those, but then the lynx embedded into the comments will be assumed to exist on this site, which poses a problem. in any case, it's just about the winter solstice and 12/21 was the date that i re-registered catencode (again)
