Weeknotes: timriley.info/posts/contin... Single-file Hanami apps are back, next-gen code reloading is ready to land, Dry CLI gets styled text formatting and a spinner, settings loading gets some YAML, and views might just get some streaming. Lots of progress this week!

OH Functional programming is when Rust people read your code and go "what the fuck (laudatory)". Imperative programming is when Rust people read your code and go "what the fuck (derogatory)"

I genuinely do not understand... It seems like everyone is collectively yelling at a man with a gun asking him not to shoot people and his response is "I'm jewish, what do you have against the Jews!?"... Is there a nuance I'm missing?

I don't take as much offense to agentic writing as most seem to, but I do have to admit a lot of this feels like the peak of the css framework bootstrap's popularity where every README I read looks like every other README.

If you're super into "heritage is duty", reminder that modern computing was invented by a gay guy to fight fascism and the phone and probably the computer you're using is powered by a processor first designed by a trans woman.
