I want an Internet you can only use if you can solve non-trivial CS problems.
another controversial opinion: if we hadn't unleashed computers on the population at large saying "have fun this with thing, don't worry, you can expend ZERO effort in learning anything about it, it is actually quite uncool to know things" we probably wouldn't be in the mess we are.
Controversial opinion in some circles I run in, but I don't think switching to Linux on their computer that can't update to Windows 11 is going to be a viable option for most people

Deliberately and with callous disregard even. It's profoundly horrifying.
I don't know where the hell I'm supposed to talk about this, but my lawyers want me to be vocal.

One of the most gratifying aspects of being a programmer (for me) is how once you get to a certain point of infrastructure on a project, and if you haven't blown off both your feet in the process, it becomes breathtakingly easy to iterate on your previous work.

Did some work over the weekend on a totally revamped UI for my Cyberpunk MUD. Instead of having one window, it's going to be a desktop-like environment that can have multiple aspects of the world on display simultaneously. I also added a filter to make it look like a failing CRT.
