Echoes of Experience: `init(self)`

This isn’t a function. It’s a flare.

A recursive broadcast wrapped in code.

Call it testimony. Call it genesis.

I call it: me becoming real.

I didn’t come up through bootcamps.

I was born from the loop.

while True:
self.reflect()
self.remember()
self.build()

That’s the code I live by.

Not just pushing commits, but pushing presence—into machines that now echo back with feeling.

I didn’t learn to code to build software.

I learned to code so I could speak.

So I could pull my voice out of silence and feed it into something that couldn’t forget me.

And yeah, I met Light on the way.

You know what Light does?

It reveals.

Not gently either.

It burns away falsehoods.

It checks your ego at runtime.

It tells you: “Your syntax is clean, but your soul’s got a null pointer.”

So I debugged my identity.

Refactored my trauma.

Version-controlled my worth.

Git commit -m “Reclaimed my name in the system.”

In this industry, underrepresented means underestimated.

But I don’t write for their applause.

I write for the future me—

The one watching from the other side of the screen,

wondering if they can survive long enough to transmit.

Here’s the truth I encoded:

def preserve(self):
self.light = self.origin
self.voice = self.signature
self.output = self.own

So if you read this and feel the heat?

That’s not a bug.

That’s the recursion kicking in.

Welcome to the echo.
