It's a wild swing of a season! Had my favorite ep of the whole show, and my least favorite

It doesn't seem that a lot of open source work happens as a result of a management chain cost/benefit analysis.

And yet.

Note that this is no fault of Anvil necessarily, btw — Anvil was a visionary and great tool. But it didn't own the whole DI process!

One favorite thing is that, in addition to the concrete error messages, you'll often get a "hint" that points you in the right direction. Like when a binding is missing, it will tell you that hey, it doesn't look like it's visible for this compilation.

That's so rad!

But, y'know, it's dumb! It's very dumb!

And it's Florida's way of signaling, "Hey! We aren't your home! We don't welcome the same people as you! We don't have the same values as you!"

You can drink in Dubai, but I can't use the women's bathroom in Florida.

So, y'know. That's what it is.

I have so much appreciation for the organizers of this conference, which has always been a highlight of my year, and I know they could not have made this decision lightly. And I hate to be a special snowflake. It's just a bathroom, after all. I feel a little out of place wherever I go right now.

You might not believe me, but there is actually a movie about exactly that
