Person on the internet: "I want you to change this thing" Me: "please tell me why you want it changed" Person: "I don't want to. I just want it changed" Me: "to change it, you first need to tell me why" Person: "but that's not something I want to do" ...yeah I'm just walking away from this

Everyone makes jokes about how violent programming terminology with all the killing of processes, but no one ever brings up all those poor darlings that die in writing and other arts

While I do like the occasional modern pop tune, none of it beats the intense visceral feelings I get from listening to a lot of stuff from the 70s-90s (usually rock or melancholy slow stuff)

There is code that is art, just as there are words that are poems. But not all words are poems, and not all code is art.

I don't actually know how many early bird tickets are left, or even if there are, but today is when we close ticket sales until September. So if you've been waiting on it, now is the time. 2026.ffconf.org

Me talking to devs.
Meme from a scene from a romantic comedy movie „500 days of summer”, portraying two people in a bookstore. One says „I like libraries”, the other replies with „me too”, they stare romantically in each others eyes. Picture below shows what they meant by „library” - for the first person it’s 10 logos of coding libraries, for the second person it’s a library building.
