I experimented with a toy model of stress that compounds during consecutive work days and decays during rest. Greedy optimization of PTO then ends up looking a lot like typical vacation advice.

How much should you spend for the most cost-effective PC build? How often should you upgrade? Is future-proofing worth it? I scraped more than a decade of data and spent some time on a simple model to find out.

I worked on some QR code cellular automata that remain scannable on every frame. See ryanagibson.com/posts/qr-cod... for details.
