My 90s web design post is top of Hacker News — perhaps the only way I can get decent traffic these days. I do ok in Google Search (relatively speaking, since I don't have many years of Page Rank), but my site gets ignored by Google Discover and the other main […]

Playing with rust async, and I wonder what the internal design cost of ruby's block_given / yield / anything takes blocks approach is. It's so ergonomic

@cwebber I’m interested in learning a bit more about ocap. I’ve done some digging into a bunch of the things you’ve linked across your work.
They’re great! But I feel like I could use like, maybe, a 101 level tutorial to drive some of the concepts home on how to actually implement. I think I […]

Whammageddon is such bullshit. What can we do to take a modern Christmas classic and wrench all the joy from it, convincing everyone to run away from it like little annoying jerks? Cut the shit. Enjoy Wham!.

Making casual posts with my actual opinion in them and being as nice as I can, but then worrying all day about whether or not I was crappy by accident anyway.
It's weird that I keep doing this given the anxiety surrounding it. I'd probably be happier outside, looking at trees.
