I write free and open source software for fun and for a living.
I've renamed my shell project from rc => xc and started doing a bit of clean-up work to inch it towards a release:

git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/xc

Started daily driving it again and it's really quite pleasant!

Reminds me of some of the design ideas I have around distributed operating systems. Really neat stuff.
