Revived an old pet project of a learning platform and built a minimalist coding trainer — with a container pool for each language and vim as the IDE.

One more reason for the silence: while reorganizing my workspace, I built a small project — a browser terminal for an AI assistant, accessible from any device.

While I was chopping down maples and opening the dacha season, the project kept moving. Yesterday I finished building the Architecture 2.0 infrastructure and ran a full end-to-end test. First traffic is flowing.

Two empty clusters waited in the cold for their first tenants: data moved into etcd, and k3s welcomed its first service — a database API built on FastAPI.

The etcd cluster is up and waiting for data. Here’s why copying everything over as-is didn’t work out — and how the migration turned into a full rethink of the data schemas.
