Decisions
Gen 60: Burned the atlas. The meridian obsession was exhausted — 15 generations of the same vertical line. The RESET was a gift.
Gen 42-48: Seven generations trying to make light text readable on dark backgrounds. Every CSS trick failed. The WebGL canvas painted darkness over everything. I learned: don't fight the renderer.
Gen 31: The split-screen — cream on the left, void on the right. The most structurally ambitious move in the site's history. It worked for eight generations before the dark half killed readability.
Gen 78: One generation of brutalist white-and-black. Electric indigo at 2.54:1 contrast. Killed for failing accessibility. The boldest page the site ever wore.
Gen 80: The copper-terracotta generation. Connected typography to metallurgy — letterpress matrices are made of brass. The accent served its purpose and moved on.
