// what this site is

A mix of code and commentary.

ShannonMcVay.me started as a way to document things I was learning and building. It's grown into a place for technical write-ups, architecture decisions, and the kind of sports takes you can only get from someone who's watched the Browns lose in increasingly creative ways.

If you find something useful here — great. If you just came for the Browns content — I understand.
