@xan @vv @cwebber can you name a single person who would unironically type the following line:
page->hdr.fs.free =
((char
*) ((FSBlock
*) (((char
*) ((Block *) ((char *) (page) +
(((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (sizeof(Page) + (0)) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u))
& ((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))))))) - 0)));
page->hdr.fs.end = page->hdr.fs.free + (((char *) page + size - page->hdr.fs.free)
/ (((index) << 3) +
((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (0) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)) &
((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))))) * (((index) << 3) +
((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (0) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)) &
((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))));

Make things. Make _personal scale_ things. The tools help bridge the truly high barriers we've managed to put in in the tech industry.
This will have a lot of problems! We don't have collective knowledge for this yet / again. The people with Sysadmin Mindset have been burned out or subsumed into the Cloud Computing machine.
But there's a chance here to take the web better places. We should take it.
(If you're worried about everything turning into paying to rent access to a digital landlord, I have bad news about where we've been since 2012.)
