Happy Pi Day! 🥧

3.14 Reasons to Celebrate

Today is March 14th, aka Pi Day — the one day a year where being irrational is not just accepted, it's celebrated.

As a software engineer, I feel a deep spiritual connection to pi. We're both:

• Never quite finished
• Impossible to fully resolve
• Appreciated mostly by nerds

A Brief History of Me and Pi

I first leant about the concept of pi day in school. Courtesy my nerdy friend

In college, I tried to memorize pi to 100 digits to impress people at parties. Spoiler: it did not work. Turns out, reciting "3.14159265358979..." while everyone else is dancing is not the vibe.

Fun Pi Facts (That Are Actually True)

• There's a pi day resolution in the U.S. Congress. Your tax dollars at work.
• The record for memorizing pi is 70,030 digits. That person definitely has their priorities straight.

In Conclusion

Pi is beautiful, infinite, and a little bit chaotic — kind of like a software project with no deadline.

Happy Pi Day! Now go eat some pie. You've earned it by reading this far.
