docs(twitter): add 1737201090058219980 corpus (NOTimothyLottes logger + multi-session design)

3-post sibling to the 1736161886079533186 VK retrospective: same public-
domain release context, Dec 2023. Covers the mmap-ring-buffer error
logger and the multi-session rationale (crash auto-reload + log
preservation, no debugger).

# @NOTimothyLottes — Multi-session is nice, since the binary auto reloads in some cases (crash, etc),
## Post 1 (2023-12-19 19:51:05)
Working towards a public-domain release of a cleaned version of my Win32 Vulkan NV+AMD compute graphics platform. What I used last for rapid prototyping (which is also IMO fine for releasable software). Won't call it an 'Engine' because it only provides tools to hang yourself ...

Simplified the error logger today. Memory mapped file is definitely the way to go, one atomic per message, log multiple sessions, fixed size file acts like a message ring buffer. Background thread keeps the last message updating the same line on the console (for easy debug).

Multi-session is nice, since the binary auto reloads in some cases (crash, etc), want to see why the reload happened, so don't want to clear the log. Yes, I still don't use debuggers, this logger + runtime shader recompile is all I use personally for dev work.
