So far I'm wondering if attending this was a mistake. There is nothing here that has anything but the most surface level of "you can hit this API and get this result" without any justification, rationale, greater picture, or raison d'etre.
Are my standards too high in wanting to know the story?

“pourqoi” is an important question to ask,
but it is a difficult question to answer.
most choose to avoid it.
few are brave and capable enough to face it.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

keep in mind undertales development quite literally started because toby fox read about arrays on wikipedia and realized he can make a dialog system with that, he didnt even know about *arrays* and made a full game in 3~ years, thats impressive as shit, u dont need good code just be dedicated enough
nothingburger complaint incoming, i find the whole "toby fox is a bad programmer" or "undertale programmed poorly" shit annoying. like idk man he tried. have you tried to make a game? cuz i can tell you that most games are gonna have at least one questionable coded thing in them

Last year around this time I started getting into Nix. It's a build tool, a programming language, a package manager, and a whole lot more. From version pinning, to configuration management, to background services — Nix has it all.
