There is a moment, an aha moment, when it all suddenly makes sense - a name, a phrase, just cuts through everything.

Get Shit Done.

I have been doing the product work properly. The ikigai docs are all there, and I believe in them. But somewhere in the middle of all that effort I found myself reading about GSD — a spec-driven, context-engineering framework for building with AI — and something landed before I had even finished reading the first readme.

Get Shit Done

There is a Rodney Crowell lyric that has been the compass for this whole thing — "lately I've learned how to listen, to a sound like the sun going down." The sun doesn't go down because you scaffolded it. It just does. The learning is in getting out of the way and letting yourself hear it.

GSD carries the same philosophy. Before a single line of code: discuss, plan, execute. Fresh context every time, no carrying the weight of everything that came before. The framework's whole argument is that what kills most projects is context rot — the slow drag of accumulated thinking that eventually pulls the whole thing under.

I have abandoned two repos and given this project three names. I know what context rot feels like.

There is something quietly refreshing about a framework named like a thing you would mutter under your breath.

So, lets go Get Shit Done...
