To New Lines

Published on August 26, 2025

## To New Lines What does a `\n` stand for? The **end** of a line of text, the **beginning** of another, or just a quiet **separator**? [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#:~:text=signify%20the%20end%20of%20a%20line%20of%20text) would have us believe it’s the end of a line - why then does the last line in a document not end with one? [Java](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#lineSeparator--) goes as far as explicitly calling it a _lineSeparator_. If you ask me, I think a newline is only the beginning. And that feels like the right metaphor for starting this space. A little `\r\n`, and something new is born. I’m starting this blog as a place to **think out loud** about the things that keep me curious: programming, technology and artificial intelligence, science, and the occasional side quest that doesn’t fit neatly anywhere else. I will think of this as a _public notebook_: part lab, part journal, part book-and-movie review site, part portfolio-in-progress. 🪄 **What you’ll maybe find here:** - experiments in code and AI - reflections on tech - snapshots of hobbies along the way Not everything here will be an answer, and not everything will be conclusive. Sometimes the point is just to **find nicer questions**. If you’re curious where this heads (like I am!), hang around.
