When a requirement specifies the solution, the design is a tautology. Separating requirements from solutions is key to doing design.
I wonder what percentage of the internet is going to be down today due to the CloudFlare issues. I would imagine no where near the scale as when AWS hickups, but still. It's unfortunate how we added points of failures to the biggest decentralized system in the world.
After 20 years, I finally found something I strongly dislike in ruby on a language level. If you define a setter like `foo=` if you do `foo = :bar`, the expression will always return :bar. It's impossible to get `foo=`'s return. I guess it's true that no one is perfect after all!
How am I just learning about `git switch -` today?? I've spent so much mental energy when hopping into another branch to check on something over the years.
I've been using vim key-binds for over 20 years and I still don't really know them. I move lines around with `dd (move) P` all the time. Somehow I managed to lowercase the entire line while I was doing that. Never did that before!
I don't know what happened to my YouTube algo a few weeks ago that makes it now feed me 30% @ThePrimeagen react videos, but I'm here for it.
We don't take electronics out of our bags for scanning at the airport anymore? I'm not complaining, but when did this happen?
Google Reader's "Recommended" algorithm was the best way to learn about interesting new-to-me blogs and pods. Very useful for tech/ruby. ~10 years later, I've yet to find a replacement. What does everyone else use? reddit/twitter/hackernews/feedly aren't it.

Real talk for younger voters. Biden delivered on two major policies I never thought I’d see: Student loan forgiveness and marijuana pardons.
If you don’t vote in midterms, you’ll be telling every politician in America passing policies younger voters care about doesn’t matter.

The proliferation of YouTube has made it much more difficult to find information on the internet. "How do I X" used to lead to a handful of blogs or articles that you could skim to find information. Instead of writing, people now make 10 min videos that you have to scrub through.

"Mr. Beast contributor Ludwig". I don't know why I'm so amused by that credit.

No shot. He's a 2 at best on a really good day.
