PO: "We have KPIs to reach, put an `unwrap` there now!"

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

I feel very "computing from first principles" as I write Elm code which I compile to JavaScript which I run in a WebView in React Native wrapper which runs on an iOS or Android phone.

Nix fixes this but you will have new problems: Nix, Nix and Nix.

I downloaded an Objective-C Metal example from Apple and I feel like I can't program.

There's so much code that does... "nothing".

Maybe it's a bad habit but I seldom think about line numbers and things being above something else in a file. I navigate everything with goto definition, type definitions, symbols, search, project search etc. I know things by name not position.

@guildwars2.com is such a cozy game. The exploration and things to do in the open world you just run into puts other MMORPGs to shame.
