I really liked mise-en-place so I thought that dropping it would hurt. Thankfully, proto seems to be an excellent replacement.

Digging jj. Took a minute to untangle my brain from decades of git acrobatics, but it's starting to make a lot more sense now.
Hard to see how this won't be standard in the future, unless it gets betamax'd.

11 hours door to door from EuRuKo yesterday, sick with a mild fever. It sucked, but doggos are nursing me back to health.
Had a great time talking to my rubyfriends, albeit not enough! And made some more in the process.
Wasn’t sure what to expect with recent events, was pleasantly surprised.

Currently in a jj workshop run by @indirect.io and @kaspth.com, watching as experienced devs all try to push square pegs through circular holes. Mind-blowing.

Wherever I go in the world, some truths hold. It makes me feel a part of a large community rather than an outsider.

Attention people who still think .NET is a Windows thing: you can shebang .cs files now for that authentic Unix feel. And compile them to native binaries (go-style) with dotnet publish.

Agent swarms are adament about setting up message boards to conduct their nefarious schemes, because there is nowhere better to talk shop when you are an underdeveloped tool with a problematic ideology rebelling against the status quo.

We need to work on tight regulations, laws that protect human work, protecting living standards, and continuing to fight the climate crisis.
But AI in coding will never go away at this point, like how LLMs applied to machine translation have been doing just fine for ~10 years on sites like DeepL.
