Why "Syca"
About the name, and the whole roadmap hidden inside it.
A reverse-chronological trail.
Retrieval has been lying to me
Took me a whole evening to find out the problem wasn't the model — it was the metadata I stuffed in.
Letting myself post something I haven't fully thought through
On the "shipping is the process" rule, and why it's a lifeline for someone like me.
An AI system I actually use every day
Not another chatbot wrapper. It's a tool I built for my own problem — and because I can see it's genuinely useful, I have the appetite to keep iterating.
The storage hidden under the step — I'm proud of this one
A problem of space, and a solution that kept me happy for a whole day.

Not buying an RV — turning an empty box into a home you can live in. Paused, not abandoned; I'm waiting on an electrical plan I've actually thought through.
