Rannking all the PWHL kits+vibes now that @pwhl--vancouver.bsky.social is ready. Worst to best.

This cut. The needle drop to Steely Dan.
I burst out into tears. I'm not even kidding.
One Battle After Another is as good as you heard.
I cried at the end too, but it's the end of Act One that's staying with me and I can't stop thinking about the next day.

So yes npm is the Node Package Manager, but it is not an acronym for Node Package Manager, it is an acronym for "npm is NOT an acronym", which is kind of a homage to the acronym GNU which, you know how when most people refer to Linux what they're actually referring to is, in fact, GNU/Linux, and...

I recognize that "follow != endorse" but 50 is still disheartening.
DHH has gone from arbitrary "I just want to focus on running a company not solving every DEI world issue" concerns to railing against non-white immigration & now gender ideology grooming talking points.

Rookie ADHD procrastinator behaviour. That's when you hit 'em with one of:
* "Oh i was working on it offline" or
* "Oops I think I must've had access to an older version"
Then you LOCK IN and do everything in the time it would've taken a neurotypical to copy and paste a paragraph in Sharepoint.

Me (and this is an exact quote that I'll never forget because it is so cringe): "I had to push what I learned out of my mind so that I wouldn't be confused with the calculus course I was taking.".

There's an infamous tumblr quote (screenshot) but it applies to a wide variety of IRL scenarios (personal & professional) where people talk past each other without realizing they think they have the same goal but have dramatically different expectations.
