/ˈhō-lē-bit/ noun
- My opinions, notes, and ideas that are confidently stated, loosely held. My thoughts, my bits. No corporate review cycle involved.
- Holey as in holy — said with conviction, sometimes reverence, occasionally a raised eyebrow.
- Holey as in full of holes — incomplete, evolving, and open to being poked at.
- Bit as in technology — code, systems, binaries, and the tiny choices (0s and 1s) that shape everything.
