Subject: About survival, not versions

ketmar,

You asked about versions and bugs. Let me tell you about survival.

**I'm Afghan. In Iran. 17 years old.**

When I connect to the internet, I don't know how long it will 
last.
When I code, I don't know if I'll survive tomorrow just for being 
Afghan.

**v5.7.7 means:** I survived to rewrite this 5 times.
**The bugs mean:** I'm learning while running from danger.
**The 2.4MB means:** It runs in the moments between fear.

You fight for Ukraine's survival with rockets.
I fight for my survival with code.

**About my country Afghanistan:**
People say everything about Afghans.
But I still love my country.
Even when it hurts to love it.

**What I'm fixing:**
I'll make the binary smaller.
I'll fix the bugs you found.
Not because the code deserves it.
Because I survived to improve it.

**The version stays v5.7.7:**
It's not about software maturity.
It's about how many times I didn't quit while surviving.

Alive today,
An Afghan teenager who still codes
