Holy C Batman, He Built an Operating System!

You've heard of C++ and Windows, C and Linux. How about HolyC and TempleOS?
Tech loves a clean narrative; Genius builds the thing, the thing changes the world, everyone claps, and roll credits. The story of Terry A. Davis refuses to behave that way. Because yes, he built an entire operating system largely by himself. Yes, he wrote his own programming language to go with it. Yes, the technical achievement still makes seasoned developers raise an eyebrow and quietly mutter, "okay, that's... a lot."
But this is not a triumphant startup story. It's messier than that. More human. And, at points, genuinely uncomfortable to sit with. TempleOS didn't come out of a polished lab with venture funding and a product roadmap. It came out of one man's apartment, one man's conviction, and one man's increasingly fragile grip on reality.
