git logWhat I've learned

every course is a branch · click a commit to see the diff

+ components render from typed data files
+ the git graph you are reading is built at compile time
+ a reference is an alias, a pointer is an address
- still mixing up *p and &x under pressure
+ base case, then assume n, prove n + 1
+ it is recursion, but for proofs
+ flip the bits, add one
+ why -128 fits in a byte but +128 does not
+ loops, functions and scope
+ truth tables + logical equivalence
+ branch, commit, merge, rebase
+ this log is shaped like what I learned
+ hello, world (compiled first try)
+ enrol: b.cs intelligent computing @ USM
+ graduate SMA Al-Azhar Syifa Budi Solo

01 · 2026 Split Bill

Scan a receipt, tap who ate what, share a fair per-person split.

 react · ts · gemini
  • Gemini reads every line item, tax and service charge from a photo of the receipt
  • You fix anything the scan got wrong before splitting
  • Tax and service charge are shared in proportion to what each person ate
  • Exports the result as an image for the group chat
