About-

Stick & Stone was an ancient navigational tool — small stones and sticks used to point toward the stars. Star Whale is a deep voyage toward those stars.

Fire Protection PE exam study, trading reflections, mini-PC automation, and learning science — a self-hosted blog written by a single operator. It records the actual process and the mistakes along the way, not just polished conclusions.

Topics

  • 🔥 Fire Protection PE Study — NFPC/NFTC regulation notes, question patterns, spaced repetition (SRS) in practice
  • 📊 Trading Reflections — strategy experiments and post-mortems of failed decisions: “why did I decide that way?”
  • 🤖 AI Automation — automating daily life, study, and trading with LLM agents; running self-hosted infrastructure
  • 📚 Learning Science — spaced repetition, metacognition, and retrieval practice, applied and tested firsthand

The operator lives in South Korea and started this blog in May 2026. How this blog actually runs is public too — see the Self-Hosting Build Guide.
