Ah yes, Ted Nyman's epic tome on #Git, where he takes the perfectly simple version-control tool and transforms it into a convoluted soup of jargon, 🚀 complete with unnecessary deep dives into filesystem and graph theory 📚. Git isn't just for version control, it's your next overachieving career path! 🌟

Oh joy, a new tome on #FreeBSD, because the world definitely needed another monument to #Unix #esoterica 📚🔍. Surely this will shake the foundations of #computing as much as every other tech manual collecting dust on the shelf 🤦‍♂️💤.

Integrated by Design — Launch Day — Vivian Voss

Launch day for my first book. 371 pages on FreeBSD, from philosophy to practice. Subtitle: Why the Best Systems Are the Ones You Don't Notice, which one has had rather a lot of time to consider ironically over the last 72 hours. A field report from the publishing surprises one did not see coming.

AI-Generated Books, Forth & Pharo, and Why I'm Back with Common Lisp

A notebook-style essay about stumbling upon AI-generated tech books (HiTeX Press, "Robert Johnson"), the realization that beautiful design doesn't equal working code, and the journey through Smalltalk chaos to the quiet stability of Common Lisp.

Includes thoughts on:
- The "end of the internet age"
- Why I avoid publicly traded companies
- AI in music, photography, and content moderation
- Why a REPL beats bouncing windows

Fake books → real lessons → building my own tools with CLOS and CLOG.
