my new system for deciding who’s a reasonable adult is to put people through the Nine Rigors, or nine tasks that i think you should need to be able to accomplish in order to occupy public sidewalks www.patreon.com/posts/158364...

2) Navigate your way to a place you’ve never been
I know we all have phones that do this for us. I’ve grown way too reliant on mine, and it’s not like I had a particularly sharp sense of direction to begin with. If I forget which turn to take to get to some place I’ve been before, I don’t try to puzzle it out based on what I might know about the neighborhood or whatever—I look at my phone. I suppose you could argue that all that puzzling was a waste of time, that I should be glad to own this device which allows me to sidestep it, but is it not my sovereign right as a human being to waste a little time now and then? Do I really not have thirty seconds to stand at a corner, squinting down side streets, looking for some familiar landmark?

You should buy a couple copies of the new edition to give to friends, now and later.

Yesterday I wrote nearly 500 lines of monstrous, clever, messed up SQL. Have you ever tried doing something that requires traversing a graph in SQL without working recursion? Don't.

I'm in the dangerous place right now of my work (which I love, don't get me wrong) and personal projects overlapping a little too much so they neither are a relief from the other. Don't talk to me about graph theory for the next 15 business days, please.
