ahh, okay - thanks for the pointer to Wadler’s Law, I’m not surprised I was missing some PLT context :)

either way, as a layperson, I think the post does an excellent job of showing how syntax informs semantics and is more than just a surface-level concern!

this was a fascinating read! although I don’t understand how someone could write such a post while claiming syntax is the “least interesting detail.” reminds me of how back-end web devs often dismiss HTML and CSS, or how tech workers in general feel about “soft skills”

And when you point this out, Mini Me and the flying monkeys will call you a hater, accuse you of being ungrateful, and tell you about how full their plates are

my guess: Dear Leader did a ten-minute investigation and determined plain contenteditable to be “good enough” now.

Tfw you bought a sauna. Which one doesn’t matter. You barely know. You don’t even care. Model number? You couldn’t tell me. Maker? You’d pronounce it wrong

great song and absolutely one of my favorite music videos! (by Michel Gondry, who did the video for Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar, similarly fun and recursive)
