/hats

Five modes of engagement. Each build wears one or more hats — showing not just what was done, but how it was approached.

Hacker

Implementation-first mode: build fast, test hard, and iterate toward working systems.

Reviewer

Critical reading mode: evaluate claims, inspect assumptions, and identify weak evidence.

Archaeologist

Reconstruction mode: trace ideas back to source papers, repos, and historical design choices.

Researcher

Hypothesis mode: frame questions, design studies, and push toward novel findings.

No builds with this hat yet.

Author

Synthesis mode: explain methods and results clearly so others can reproduce and build on them.
