When I hear people say Die Hard is a Christmas movie unironically, I reply "...and The Terminator is a romance".

It has a romance in it. The romance is pivotal to the story. It's not a romance.

Was the same in 1995 when I started and in 2003 when I left. All departments across the university were judged equally. English paper on Shakespeare that took 2 months given same weight as paper from 4 month archaeological dig or 2 years of botanical growth or robot that took 3 years.

Very impressed with the speed in which you turned that round, Dylan! Great job.

Take it off the front and stuff it on the back. Nice little loop.

20% of the internet is having a bad day. Including our minnow of a company! Oh well.

Musk is a bleak human.

Blimey. I'm proud when I cut $500 off the monthly bill at work with some clever thought, configuration and smidge of code!

I haven't forgotten about anchors and # on the end of a query. Marvellous invention.

A good description of what we used to call a "chaos cache". Eventing was a mistake in that domain but architecture flavour of the year. It put me off ever wanting to work in an event architecture again - so much so I asked at interviews.

As I predicted, people are going to stop talking about it and it'll just become a product feature hidden away. You won't know if the analytics were hallucinated or deterministic. You won't be able to avoid it.

Firstly, you talk about locking developers into a workflow. While I accept linter warning exist, in the real world you must make them earnings-as-errors or they are ignored and become just yellow noise.

But you then go on to formalise like below. There's no ambiguity there. No room for manoeuvre, no nuance. The whole post doesn't read like an aim, it reads like a formalised rule. You talk about locking programmers in. That's not the real world I've been in.
