So, I just got an email from dev.to congratulating me on my 4-year badge. Cool, right? Except… there’s just one problem:

I have zero memory of ever creating this account.

Apparently, it’s been linked to my GitHub for four years—just sitting there in the digital void, waiting for me to notice. Maybe past-me had grand plans of blogging about development, cybersecurity, or tech shenanigans, but then promptly forgot.

Well, better late than never.

Since this is technically my first post, I guess I should introduce myself:
Hi, I’m CypherOxide, and I am a DC Technician as my day job, but I have spent my time [the last 3 1/2 years] working on an AI project that I started halfway through my cybersecurity degree and sometimes end up breaking things (preferably ethically, but quite often out of frustration).

If you’re reading this, let me know: Have you ever rediscovered an old account you completely forgot about? What did you do with it?

I guess this is my official start on dev.to. Let’s see where this goes!

(Don't expect me to replace my hours at a terminal with time on here)
