hm, i think i’m a better author than i was in 2017

why bother?

as someone who never finishes books, i don't see the point in giving them endings

maybe a 6 out of 10, the second sunset is kind of pretty

some people could go their whole lives without seeing a sunset as pretty as the one i’m looking at now and it’s honestly a 5 out of 10

growing up in the inland northwest you just get so desensitized to sunsets

this is traumatic

fuck jelly imo

this blackberry is JELLY but i wanted JAM

we can indeed reduce the “trauma” of the event by expecting it, but at the cost of a more just world

kiddo the reason why trauma has been such a buzzword lately is because we are trying to point out that these stresses should NOT be considered normal

it is in fact possible to imagine a world without them

remembering that time i saw someone on the TL say “what if we just normalized trauma?”

ho ho, my lad!

“the new hobbit movies weren’t supposed to be good because it was a childrens story” still remembering this wild take my brother had

plus a filesystem path is a much more human-friendly identifier than a UUID but this is the URL thing again

anyway the idea that Zoomers will replace the tree directory structure is kind of hilar; i don't think the author realizes that people have been trying to replace the tree directory structure for a half-century and the reason they haven't done it yet is that it's really fucking hard

if a tree structure is important for your data you can easily handle the problem by wrapping the data in a container and only showing the container to the user. probably a better solution anyway because it means that the computer can enforce good structure at the container boundary. who cares

however, there is one other domain where the concept of a “path” is relevant, other than the filesystem… and it’s kind of important…

“kids these days don’t understand tree directory structures” i sleep

“that means they don’t understand URLs” i weep
