I notice I complain about a lot of tech trends from IoT to NFT to AI to adtech to the constant push for the modern mainframe that is the cloud and ponder whether I should be a little more accepting and immediately my internal advisor responds “no. All that stuff sucks.”

@onelson wasn’t sure if there was an official emoji combo so I used my imagination

Watched a good video essay about “Chocolate” — sort of an autistic martial arts superhero movie. I had no idea about the expectations. I just know I loved the movie when it came out.

Accented Cinema spends a few minutes digging a little deeper into the context and merits.

@brianfenton Yeah one thing was that it’s not actually a superhero movie but that was the only way my brain would accept the action scenes 😆

@bink well I’m not gonna pretend it’s in the best of health or anything, but Perl’s still sufficiently a thing that 5.38 includes an improved object model.

But yeah I get the sentiment and generally I agree with it. I wasn’t done with Perl yet!

@mjgardner @bink well I’ll be the first to admit I made a few mistakes. Could’ve done much worse though.
