You’re not wrong, and I’m aware of your credentials. But I’ll admit to mild surprise (and pleasure) that you’re aware enough of CMake to develop the opinion. It’s a bit of a niche of a niche (I say this as someone who works with the developers)

There’s a scene where Spenser walks for miles during a blizzard to help someone because that’s who he was and that was the job in front of him. “Do the job in front of you” as an ethos isn’t bad. Doing so while assuming everyone is worthy of respect until proven otherwise is admirable

...years after he passed, that he was an unreconstructed nerd (it's a while before we understand that our parents and grandparents are _people_). He learned to play the organ in his 50s. Tomorrow I pick up a used machinist's lathe to close a (not entirely digital) loop. I miss you grandpa.

My grandfather was a machinist. He had a stack of Popular Science magazines that I always made a beeline for when we visited. He took an electronics night class and later gifted me the electronics kit he used. I owe a satisfying 40 year career in CS in part to him. I only realized... 1/2
