Buy me a coffee?
The notebook is free and it stays free. Most of it gets written with a coffee going cold next to the keyboard, usually while I check one more source. If something here saved you an hour, you can send a coffee my way. Any amount counts as a coffee, and every one of them gets a thank you.

Creator first. Scoreboard always on.
I'm Thang, @tatthang on X. My work is turning data, ideas, and stories into signal: content people can actually trade, build, or decide on.
This site is my operating notebook. Instead of a highlight reel, it holds the working record: short thoughts, timestamped calls, open positions, and the products I ship along the way.
