While I think we've all settled on Cory Doctorow's concept, I really wish it wasn't called "enshittification". It's hard to take the phenomenon seriously when I sound like I'm just being edgy saying it aloud. There's something to keeping the term as a vulgar word, in that PR people working for companies actively engaging in it can't find a way to turn it around and own the definition, but "enshittification" could still use a little rebrand.

I extend my prayers out to those of you who have pointy-haired bosses looking to seem trendy in their public reports by implementing this.

Tangentially, I'd like to shout out both Miguel's work both in explaining the Flask web development framework for Python as well as his work developing Flask-SocketIO, both of which I've used extensively.

What’s lovely about this post is that it follows the rule of bold claims producing interesting counters. Here’s my hat in the ring: I have had a really good time with the Elektron Model: Samples. It’s among the cheapest grooveboxes and comes with all the effects, parameter locks, and preloaded samples you need to do some great things.

tangentially, I'd like to give thanks to Miguel Grinberg for getting me started on flask and sockets in python via his posts.

Fortuitous timing. I just started writing daily on https://ds0.xyz whose backend I recently updated to employ tagging, but I haven't covered anything worth reading*.

How do people keep up with each other, private site-wise? Should I just add an RSS feed or something?

Bob Nystrom's other roguelike-related posts on that blog have been a big help for my personal fiddling with gamedev.

I'm wondering if there's a parallel for nutrition. I'm a pretty poor eater, as it stands.

Sorry to go on a tangent, but that's John Lurie on the left in the second photo by Andy Warhol. I'm surprised to see he brushed shoulders with Basquiat and the rest.

I've wasted eons on Slant. I love opening up a huge field on hard and clicking away at my virtual rock garden.

Saw a cat with a bunch of garbled motivational poster text. Drove me over the wall with laughter at work.
