Same reason I might use tippy.js for popup boxes. I know I could make it myself, and make it just as well as the tippy authors have designed it, but why waste my time doing that when I know they've already thought through all of the problems that I can't even expect until I'm already in the thick of it?

My best guess is that it looks like a typo for "keycombo".

Seconded. There's definitely something deeper going on here, and I'm so excited to see it.

Hey! I want to formally apologize -- the company I heard presenting had a name very, very similar to yours. Definitely was not the same company. Unfortunately it's past the 2 hour mark to delete comments on HN, but consider this my retraction of what I said above. Really sorry about the mix up, and what you have going here seems very impressive. Definitely seems like a fantastic attitude towards workers' health and happiness.

As a developer by trade, it was definitely raising a LOT of red flags for me. I don't blame you for taking it with a grain of salt, though.

"Suddenly Nic Cage grabs you by the arm and throws you into the wall. You hit the ground hard and scream." made me laugh out loud

I know a ton of people who use Cash App's card for that. Seems like it works well for them. (I don't use it personally)

I wouldn't really call APL/J/K "lost" (or "dead", or "useless", or...). There's an active community on Reddit and there's a pretty active circle of APL'ers on Twitter. It wasn't ever a super mainstream language, but it's definitely not lost its appeal -- maybe even as a fun hobbyists' language.

For memorizing lines? Chew a piece of gum. I've found that it takes the emphasis away from my location in my mind and places some emphasis and connection with the feeling of chewing gum. For extra points, alternate different flavors for different sets of things to memorize.
