Why I keep doing them

Jams are forced shipping practice. A 20-second jam is a 20-second jam — you cannot scope-creep your way out of a deadline that fires whether you submitted or not. Every entry above is a constraint exercise: weekend window, browser-playable, no live ops, an end-state. The skill the jams keep sharpening is the same one I want from learning systems — finish on time, ship the smallest playable version, learn from real players.

Status

Side-of-desk practice. New entries land when a jam theme fits the time window.
