Farewell.

I'm done with programming. Not in a dramatic "I'll be back in two weeks" way - genuinely done. This is where I stop.

I started building stuff when I was 12. Urbanshade, the Lab, AswdOS, this site, a hundred other things that never saw the light of day. It was fun. I learned a lot. React, TypeScript, how to ship things, how to break things, how to fix them at 2am.

But somewhere along the way it stopped being fun and started being... just what I do. And I don't want to keep doing something just because I've always done it.

So this is it. No dramatic exit, no long post about burnout or the industry. I'm 13. I've got time to figure out what's next. Maybe it's something completely different. Maybe I come back one day. But right now, I'm walking away.

Thanks to everyone who used my stuff, gave feedback, or just thought it was cool that a kid was building things. That meant more than you know.
