A living portfolio should behave like a proof file

Field Note / 2026-05-24

A short note on why this site is built as a public proof archive instead of a polished one-page resume.

A portfolio is only useful if it helps a serious person decide what to believe.

That means it needs links, dates, status labels, receipts, and restraint. A thin site with big claims is worse than no site at all. The point of A Salty Vet is to make the work legible without pretending every private build is ready for public inspection.

When proof is not ready, leave the claim unpublished. That is not weakness. That is the site refusing to lie.
