Three of them are real products. The rest are half-shipped: interesting starts, side-quests, idea-shaped objects with a README and a pushed\_at date and not much past it.

No. But the Game Changed.](https://deeflect.hashnode.dev/seo-is-dead-no-but-the-game-changed?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=feed) I asked ChatGPT who I am. It had nothing. No idea I existed. I've been deep in the AI space for a while now. I spent 5 years as lead product designer at a fintech platform serving 70+ financial institutions. I shipped 31 open-source Rust CLI tools.
