Problem

The landing page ships with a creed framing -- "One who believes a bold, brutal truth is worth more than a rose-colored half-truth" -- but nothing else on the page actually demonstrates it. The creed is a quote, not a spine. It writes a check the rest of the page doesn't cash.

Proposal

Add one short section, between bio and projects (or as the new footer of the bio), with one specific, defensible, mildly uncomfortable opinion about Jeff's field. Just one. Title options:

"What I actually think"
"Hot take"
"A thing I'll die on"
"Unpopular but"

Constraints:

One opinion, not three. Density beats list.
It should be defensible (Jeff can argue it for ten minutes if asked) and specific enough to be a real claim.
It should make a small percentage of readers bounce. That's the test.
It should connect to either the SRE/infra work or the AI tooling work, not be off-topic.

Acceptance

One section, one opinion, no hedging
At least one reader of the page disagrees with it
The creed in the header now feels earned, not cosmetic
