Cool to see the concept of contextual repositioning for better monospaced typefaces finding a huge audience through GitHub’s new coding font. A small credit for the idea would have been nice tho. finaltype.de/en/projects/mon…

All code has been letters, on a grid, since the days of the teletype machine. How can we advance the state of the art to make code itself more expressive and powerful? How can we layer more meaning onto code?

COVID policy has become purely ad hoc and reactive. There's no strategy, there's no endgame, there's no philosophy, there's no internal consistency, there's no cost-benefit analysis, there's no metrics to define success, there's no consensus on what we want to accomplish.

I believe this @xkcd comic is the greatest non-code contribution to #opensource in the past decade.

Two important lessons I learned in my twenties:
- If you think everyone hates you, you probably need to sleep.
- If you think you hate everyone, you probably need to eat.

Me, writing an email:
I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!
