What if the Machine finally understands me?
I have spent a surprising amount of my life around technology for someone who has never really known how to write software. Long before AI became something everyone talked about, I was downloading open-source projects, installing things on servers, trying software that probably had no business being installed by someone with my level of technical training, and generally figuring things out by seeing if I could make them work. I have probably downloaded thousands of repositories over the years. I could usually understand what something was supposed to do, and with enough persistence I could often get it running. What I could never really do was code.
I tried more than once. The concepts usually made sense to me, but the process never moved fast enough for the way my brain seems to work. I would have an idea, get excited about where it could go, and then find myself spending an hour trying to figure out why something would not compile or why one little piece of syntax was wrong. By the time I solved the problem, I had often lost the energy I had for the idea itself. That probably says more about me than it does about programming, and that is important to this story, because I do not want any of this to sound like a criticism of the programmers or developers I have worked with over the years. If anything, it is a bit of a confession.

Once upon a time, before the electric vehicles, brammo was aiming to produce 1000 horsepower with a transverse 6 speed gearbox. We got there but then the Ariel Atom sent us down another path and the world changed right under out feet. Still deep on the machine lust side of the world. V12 600 cubes 9.8 liter monster and the gearbox would handle 1000 ft lb of torque and mades it way into a lot of other supercars. Brammo V12 taken in Ashland, Oregon by @bramscher
