Itโ€™s funny to me that AI tools converted us from using documents for tech approaches to markdown in repos so the tools could easier read and modify them. But absolutely here for it.

Let's update your legacy system bit by bitโ€”no need to throw everything out and start from scratch.

This is the way. If you donโ€™t fix your underlying problems (normally of change safety), youโ€™ll be back rewriting your software every few years. Itโ€™s a waste.

While I donโ€™t really disagree with your sentiment, the story (MSQ) in 14 has some excellent riffs. I donโ€™t regularly play, but I did great enjoy some parts of it.

I am begging people, from game devs to game journalists, to regular players: Stop equivocating difficulty options with accessibility.

While difficulty options can make a game more accessible as a side effect, they are are not a substitute for real accessibility options.

Clearly didnโ€™t play enough of World of Final Fantasy (absolutely not cannon in my head).

From the start of the season. They tried to make it fit about half way through episode one but still hasnโ€™t felt right. Oh well. Wheel of Time looks better right now.

Iโ€™m holding up. Spring Break, so doing the important stuff, like Pokรฉmon Go with my son. Hope youโ€™re holding up my friend.

Iโ€™m not sure this season was a good for me. Leaned way too much into that.

A screenshot of a post from the account @longwall26 on Twitter. It is quote posting another tweet from YouGov that reads: One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams. The quote above it reads: Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly.

The fact that we had a hegemony I think is questionable to start with. I donโ€™t feel back it is cooked. But I do worry about what takes its place and how our leaders respond to throwing weight around not working.

if anyone sees this post, it's gonna be really unpopular but I wish we got as serious about road safety as we do about airplane safety

every week, ~800 people, about two planes' worth, die in traffic in the U.S.

They donโ€™t actually use toilets anyways. Why would we waste time designing for a non-existent use case?

Wait. Congress wonโ€™t do shit. Thatโ€™s just a fantasy.

You have my vote Eric. No policies would be an acceptable outcome and let Congress rebuild some stuff.

Seems like you have a great story idea there, because you write so many legal thrillers.

Neighbors who see being neighborly as food sharing are always the best.

Iโ€™ll see you on the other side.

Iโ€™m not sure I want know but the other side of what?
