This is extremely cool. Picked it up and made this DAG in like 15 minutes. Obviously pros/cons versus other DAG tools (e.g. low/no code cstructure and R's ggdag, both of which offer d-separation details and more) but if you have rigid aesthetic requirements this is a great tool to have in your kit

delighted to announce that my new zine "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is out today!! You can get it for $12 USD here: wizardzines.com/zines/terminal

The Secret Rules of the Terminal, by Julia Evans - The cover illustration depicts three people doing arcane terminal magic in a temple with a smoking censer in the background. Each of the three people has curly brown hair and light brown skin. They are all wearing dresses, billowing cloaks, and utility belts with keyboard symbols on them. The one on the left holds a palette of paints and a brush. The one on the right has a staff with a $ symbol on it and a starfish at the top. The one in the centre has a sword and is reading from a book whose cover says “>_” and “./”, which rests on a lectern with a smiling snake wrapped around it.
