How appropriate that "Rose Bud" makes an appearance in _A Grand Day Out_!

> Strong static typing is an absolute must for building anything bigger than trivial systems

I was under the impression that TypeScript is only statically typed, not strongly typed, too. Am I mistaken?

It's hardly a rant. Not once did either author question the birthright of the Neovim developers in Russian.

I think more software engineers should worry about this stuff. If I had to teach a bunch of juniors in a computer science or software engineering degree program, I'd make them read this as a case study alongside good ol' Therac-25. The software we create is _useful_. How it affects other people _matters_. We ought to care about that no matter what the legal disclaimers say.

That was so much fun!

I don't think this guy's blog tries to sell me on a subscription enough. Maybe he could add even more pop-ups or inline pleas for funding. I'm sure he's got a newsletter he's desperate to monetize.

Is this a real example of something people use AI to do? If so, I don't understand why that's difficult, because prompting the AI to do stuff with ASTs etc. seems a bit over the top.

Same. I had VMS running on an AS200 next to a beautiful X terminal, just like the computer lab at school. But my dad wasn't sitting next to me, hunting and pecking away at his old C.Itoh terminal. None of the usual suspects were across the table, locked into their favorite MUDD. And so on. I miss them all so much.

Comedy is dead. I can't believe so many folks didn't clock this post.

(Also, the word is "cue", as in "signal". English sucks.)

Don't concurrency. forget about
