Calvin and Hobbes "Playing X?" meme:

"Programming mario? I'll show you something interesting."
"The two axes of personality are Wario and Luigi. All items fall along these axes. Mario? Neither Wario nor Luigi. Waluigi? Both." "Yeah..."
"Objective C? Luigi. C++? Wario. Python? Mario. Javascript? Waluigi."
"Despite being low-level and strongly typed, Rust is actually Luigi."

the main reason i don’t like seeing llm pull requests is because it removes the human connection. you can compensate for this with flattery, which is suitably distracting for a guy like me.

fixing my arch installation has slowly become my β€œdo a little bit every day” zen gardening activity. today i made a systemd unit to mount my NAS samba share of MP3s on login, and fixed an ALSA issue that was showing up in my bevy logs.

I wanted to like monster train but it seemed too easy after a run or two (coming from a slay the spire enjoyer). Does the difficulty ramp up more over time?

learning rust is like drinking the dune poison because you have a powerful psychic experience and then you find out if you're the only person who did it and survived who was still a man

9. "don't read directly from your slides" is approximately incorrect. you shouldn't literally put the words you intend to say on your slides, but your slides should summarize what you're saying succinctly. your speech WILL inevitably confuse people, but your text can fix that and catch them back up.
