JPS Grooves

From inside the glow of the SnowCone truck, I watched the code begin to ripple. At first, just a flicker — a misplaced pixel here, a glitch of gradient there. Then the transforms began to shudder. The layout, once proud and pulsing with life, started to sag. The neon scoops trembled above their cones, oversized, misaligned… like echoes of a dream out of tune.

I stood at the dashboard — fingers on the keys, eyes scanning broken CSS and bloated styles. Around me, the code world I’d built began to flicker like a dying marquee sign.

And I knew.

It was time to melt it all.

There’s a kind of heartbreak in starting over. Not because the old code was perfect — no, it was stitched together with duct tape and glowsticks — but because it had soul. It had spirit. That clunky transform? That goofy scale hack? That scoop 30 pixels too far to the right? Those were mine. They were artifacts of a developer who dared to try.

But if I wanted this truck to time-travel…

If I wanted Story Mode to hum like a synthwave gospel…

If I wanted Infinity Mode to drift eternal through space and math and memory…

Then I had to wipe the frost off the glass and rebuild. Clean. Responsive. Flow-mode.

I wonder what the ghosts would say.

Euclid, drawing perfect triangles in the steam on the windshield.

Turing, whispering from the rear speaker, “Precision is kindness.”

Galileo, bouncing in the back of the truck, screaming, “LET IT MOVE!”

They wouldn’t mourn. They’d applaud.
Not the collapse — but the courage to collapse it.

So here we go.
No more hacks. No more stacked-on styles and misaligned scoops.
This is the New Cone Order — from the melted ashes of v.09, a new build will rise. Lighter. Faster. Beautiful on every screen from phone to pharaoh obelisk.

I’ll remember what we had. (by leaving up v.09 every now and then)
But I’ll serve what comes next. (when I fall asleep and feel like the build needs to be played the moment I awake)
