Spring cleaning time in the repo!

For months, I’ve been building GitRoot (the forge where issues and docs live inside your code). But looking at my landing page, it felt like the garden was overrun by weeds and cold corporate jargon.

Before summer arrives, it was time to pull up the bad weeds and sow some fresh ideas.

I’ve completely rewritten the page into a vision manifesto. No more boring tech-talk, just a raw explanation of why we need software gardens, sap, and leaves to grow projects away from Big Tech's pesticides.

I need your green thumbs. Which soil feels better to plant your seeds in?

CAVE IDVS MARTIAS. Someone carved it on a Roman wall two thousand years ago. Someone else scratched underneath: "That's our release date." Developers and soothsayers have a lot in common.

Why did the shell script feel powerful? Because with great power comes great responsibility — and nobody reads shell scripts responsibly. #linux #devhumor
