hey quick question as i don’t follow baseball; why do the Yankees have fans?

(this is because replacing flawed systems requires working with and talking to people, which is incompatible with the image of programmer-as-egoistic-man that the modern discipline is founded upon)

You’re looking for hope. I don’t know how. Watching you fortify yourself, garner your books, and pack your bags for the . Tell me it couldn’t be THAT bad. Tell me you’ll call my mom and dad.

If anything happens when we’re out there, I’ll be vigilant.

The good thing in all of this is earning your calluses. Getting resilient; studying consequence. I’ve been something of a scholar these days—I’ve been trying (but I get it wrong). I’ve been something of a revelation—I just don’t know what I want. And I’ve been something of a loser these days—I’ve been nothing like my father these days—I’ve been something of a liar these days. “I am okay. I am okay.”

The good thing in all of this is being irrelevant. Getting your tires checked and going back out again.

The good thing in all of this is having a friend in it. Come tell me how it is—and how it’s been.
