So it turns out Firefox and Chrome both support vertical tabs now.

If you're reading this after the 20th March, 2026, I'll be a completely different person...I think?

Finally some more graph traversal!

A bit of linear programming on my birthday, how lovely!

The hardest Part 2, I think!

Coincidentally, also the day I put my own Christmas lights up!
