TIL, again, the power of good terminology. I was struggling to explain how we provide support for plugins @Raincode.

Then I remembered the 'entry point' and 'bootstrap method' terminology, and the clouds parted, the sky was blue, the sun shone, and I had a happy day.

Congrats on the position! (And moving back to Germany).

If you want to work on "better enable old and new kinds of applications", I can certainly give you some perspectives on the "old" part! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Aargh. Got bit by a one-off error again.

I guess that's what happens when you mix COBOL (1-based indexing) and C# (0-based indexing) code.

Yes, my life is that weird.

This reminds me of film footage of after the 1973 Chilean coup d'รฉtat: people were 'dissapeared' from the streets by the secret police DINA, and these victims knew to yell out their name and ID number, so that families would know they had been taken.

But this is the USA, this is 2025.

If you can't think of a word, just say "I forgot the English word for it."

That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.

Four panel comic with two figures talking: panel 1, figure 1 "I've told my student to find someone to assign this task to." Panel 2, figure 2, "Great mentoring! Your student will learn the power of delegation". Panel 3, figure 1 "Oh! Haha no. No no no. They'll assign the task, then leave, then the delegate will..." figure 2, "will what?". Panel 4, figure 1 "fail and leave the student holding the ball. And then they will learn that they can really only depend on themselves." figure 2, "oh no."

Dear Alcohol... Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Alcohol is the most harmful drug we use. It kills more people each year than wars, terrorism, car accidents, and homicides combined. Why do we cling to something so harmful? Watch our latest video to find out: kgs.link/alcohol
