@ddr I think Smalltalk got objects right. And LISP, with the meta-object protocol.

I want to like JavaScript, especially w/improvements of the last 5-ish years. I prefer object prototyping to classes.

Took me a minute to figure out why i lost consciousness. Oh right right. the annual cost of that Jave IDE I was pondering.

Looks like it’s gonna keep being me, Vim, and several rolls of duct tape for a while.

Dang. Wanted to use FastAPI for this project but it’s a shiny smooth well-polished round peg for the square hole that is the requirements list.

It could do the thing. But it’s way off from its best use cases.

Went onto the rooftop apartment deck just long enough to develop a brief but intense dislike of my jibber jabber loud mouth talking nonsense neighbors.

Thanks to the crossposter, I get to see that my Mastodon folks feel much more strongly about Java than my Twitter folks.

Getting ideas for (nondestructive) things to do with some of the work stuff, so that’s cool. New job’s getting into the right brain spots.

Got a #lazyweb question for a weekend site task.

Does anybody have a better name than “blogroll” for “a list of sites I enjoy run by people I like?” Something that sounds less like toilet paper?

Listening to one of the nice soothing sleepy Beck albums. Very relaxing. Very soothing.

Mad at leafblower dude, but no. He’s not the one who thought super-pollen trees and rock piles were a pleasing mix.

This is the landscaper’s fault.

Death to landscapers!

Wait they’re just doing what owners want.

Death to owners!

Anyways, headphone time.

@thegibson I’m sure you know how to find resources, but if you have random beardy thoughts or questions: I’ve watched the YouTube videos, then clicked Like and Subscribe, so you don’t have to.

If we shadows have offended think but this and all is mended, that you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Sure did spend a long time learning configuration (Doom Emacs, awesomewm) with only minor effect, but I’m proud of myself just the same.
