To begin, we must establish that I am a moron.
My code writing skills are so subpar that it’s an insult to the word skill to apply it to my abilities. GitHub is frightening, engineers are wizards, etc., etc. You combine this idiocy with my Macbook Air from 2018 (that has water damage and randomly restarts twice a day), and I shouldn’t even be able to type. Despite that, I was able to use open-source software and 5 pictures of myself to make a self-portrait using AI. It took maybe 15 minutes.
I then decided to go to space.
