Matt Smith noticed that the Iterator utils is widely available now (since ~2024).
So we may keep an arrays processing look like a pipeline, but do it lazy and reach significant performance win. A trivial change is needed.
Someone had to remind us all of this.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was murdered while defending two women and his 1st and 2nd amendment rights. I thought these were things MAGA cared about?

If there is no justice for Alex Pretti there will never be justice for Renee Good or the countless other people ICE has already killed, and the many more they will kill in the future. This case is so cut and dried it's indefensible. They took his gun and dumped an entire mag in him. Pure evil.

My current struggle with guitar is tremolo picking. Way harder than it looks but I need to learn it for some Gojira songs.

Godspeed to all my fellow Texans. I was never here for the 2021 winter storm and I hope I never have to live through that.

The guitar is SO sick in this song. I've been replaying it for months and it never gets old. The double-stops, the aggressive muting in the verse, god it's so good. I'll learn it one day but it's too advanced for me rn.

![I could use someone like you
Someone who'll kill on my command
And ask no questions

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho

A fucking psycho
Ha-ha, a fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now, oh

Are you a human drone? Aye, sir
Are you a killing machine? Aye, sir
I'm in control, motherfucker, do you understand? Aye, sir](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sgzcgc2jvnbq5u3aqdcggytz/bafkreice5uz7zs26vphsadyrjzq32fhdrss5lsfoll5exmvqd2tauwkl4a@jpeg)

This Empty Northern Hemisphere is one of my favorite albums, if you haven't listened to it you definitely should! It also opens with one of my favorite songs *ever*, Dandelion Wine.

Sometimes I feel like quitting web development and joining my brother-in-law on the ranch.
At least cows don't suddenly upgrade to version 5.0 and break the entire farm because the geese aren't on 3.2.4 yet.

In hindsight, we didn't bully the web3/crypto crowd nearly as hard as we should've. Many of them have now pivoted to posting incoherent AI slop and calling it The Future, Again, for Real This Time. Brother the future was 5 years ago, let the monkey JPEGs go.

Anyone else kinda just not in the mood to write a 2025 in review blog post? I did for the past two years but they take a lot of time. A lot happened in 2025 that I *would* want to talk about, but... man, I'm tapped out.
