Not actually the planet, but an earthly fellow named Mars Hall.

Let's terraform Earth, first 🌱

I’m a life-long yogi, many-form bicyclist, late-blooming ukulelist, & armchair audio engineer. Also, I work in software engineering at a rather large tech company.

i spent weeks writing this essay, time i could've spent with my family, enjoying myself, literally anything else

it's resonated with hundreds of people, which is nice, thank you all for the nice messages.

i didn't cry while writing this essay but i just had a string of dms with a rails core member, and i'm crying now.

people who sit on rails core may not feel like David is humiliating them, but i don't think you're paying attention.

i'm sad to see that my words were wasted.

I think I’ll rent a bike here tomorrow, from Fredrick in #amsterdam #BikeTooter

Bloomberg: same
Reuters: ditto
BI: you were expecting...what, exactly?...from BI?
The Verge: [ drooling sounds ]
NYT: [ copies The Verge's homework ]
Engadget: [ copies less prestigious outlet's homework ]
BBC: lolsob, but in British accent
Bloomberg: same slop, but at Bloomberg because you're at a terminal, I guess?

Cooked. Totally, absolutely, Tim levels of cooked.

@piccalilli β€œBrowser support may be a topic for you right now, but hopefully, it will soon be a thing of the past”… Web developers of the past two decades would like to know when β€œsoon” is happening πŸ˜‚
@daringfireball I hope you’re doing okay… felt your absence.
