Code Arcana
A tarot-based programming philosophy website: all 78 cards written as full essays, with a navigable 328-edge connection graph across suits and arcana.
About
A programming philosophy read through tarot archetypes rather than Taoist ones: dry, plainspoken prose and a framing that treats expertise as permission to question received wisdom rather than as a credential to defer to. All 78 cards are written and integrated: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana across the four suits of Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles. Each card carries a full essay, keywords, a one-line coding insight and links to related cards, and the 328-edge connection graph between them is rendered as a navigable diagram. It is built with SvelteKit on Deno and deployed via Deno Deploy.
