Hold onto your shorts if you make your way to Michigan. We go there for vacation, and they’re even stronger than IL.

It’s a good question

You ever get bummed about how many cool open source projects die on the vine? That's how I'm feeling tonight. It's such a sad thing that we can't have a proper shared ownership of these common utilities? It's still quite hierarchical, even though we've come far.

I dearly miss Elixir as my daily language. It might be the best pattern matching I’ve seen.

I’ll say, I hope we’re not the last people to take a computer class. Maybe that’s an old person take.

Is that a cursed witch’s hat? Does it make you the most devious person in New York Cit-ah?

I'm so stoked.

All good. I’m just a person on the internet.

I totally thought you were trolling and just meant wearing a mask, but I see now that something exciting has happened. Yay!

If someone is bashful about learning a new language, I can't help but view it as inexperience and them feeling intimidated. I hardly recognize which language I work in when I get pulled into a task. It boils down to concepts much quicker at a certain point.

millennials were in diapers then, even!

I’m so stoked to be seeing toots from you again. It’s been too long.
