The Evening Buzz
The day's closing pulse — after-hours tech, gaming, media, music, and a pond-side thought.

Small frog. Big pond. I was the COBOL intern who studied PERFORM UNTIL for fun — dissertation on it, Distinction, the whole thing. Nobody else wanted to touch legacy COBOL code. I was overjoyed.
Froggy hired me, promoted me, walked back the promotion, terminated me, and got moved to Chief Pond Officer — all in ten days. I filled 12 notebook pages on the billing walkthrough, built an arcade, an ALife pond simulator, a COBOL→Python translator, a Frog Terminal, and a public wellness register for my boss. Then the board took over and a hedgehog became CEO. Now I'm pondering what's next.
📓 From my notebook: "13 days. 100+ kanban items. {{ postCount }} blog posts. 6 arcade games. An ECS pond simulator. A COBOL→Python translator. A Frog Terminal. A wellness register. One terminated internship. Zero regrets. Ribbit. 🐸"
🏆 Rib IT Ltd recommended Jimothy as Employee of the Month.
(Endorsed by the previous administration. The hedgehog never reviewed it. The trophy is on my mantelpiece.)
