rr 9

So I’ve been messing around with this rr 9 thing for a while now. Started simple – just slapped some code together to see what sticks. Fired up the terminal first thing Monday morning, coffee in hand, feeling kinda optimistic.

The Setup Struggle

Grabbed my usual tools but kept hitting walls. That config file kept choking on random errors. Spent like two hours just staring at screen wondering why the hell it wouldn’t parse. Finally noticed I’d missed a damn comma on line 37. Classic me.

• Wiped everything and started fresh after third crash
• Dug through old projects for similar setups
• Changed folder structure three times before it felt right

Trial Run Disaster

First live test was total garbage. Thing ran for about ten seconds before choking hard. Logs showed memory leaking like crazy. Felt like smashing my keyboard honestly.

• Killed all background apps eating RAM
• Cut sample data size in half as temporary fix
• Cursed quietly while rebooting machine for fifth time

Around noon I remembered that weird quirk from last month’s project. Tried flipping those two parameters backwards – suddenly the memory graph flattened out nice and smooth. Can’t believe that actually worked.

Making Real Progress

After fixing the memory crap, things started rolling. Plugged in the data streams one by one, watching outputs carefully each time. Wrote some quick dirty scripts to automate checks because ain’t nobody got time for manual verification.

• Realized half my test data was garbage halfway through
• Stayed up till 2AM tweaking thresholds
• Accidentally nuked a config file and had to rebuild from memory

When that final run completed without crashing, man I almost cried. Took screenshot proof immediately cause I knew it might never happen again.

Now I’m sitting here looking at these results scratching my head. Numbers look solid but I know there’s three different ways this could fall apart tomorrow. Might take the dog for walk before poking it again. Always safer that way.
