Bought a sketchbook and decided to put it to the left of my keyboard to see if anything came of it.

Full success! Doodled up these under-desk hook designs until I had one I liked, revised the shape in Illustrator, extruded in Fusion, and 3D printed and mounted within an hour.

@chriscoyier Follow-up question: how many people did you just piss off doing this emergency update?
Andrew WalpoleApr 24, 2025
@davatron5000 Yep, only like the 2nd because it's explicit and can be bubbled to the top while assignment is somewhere far below. Maybe `--foo: ;` at the top fixes my concern?

@davatron5000 When you said perf differences this is about what I had guessed. Makes sense, will have to retrain my brain! Thanks!

@davatron5000 I'm curious to know more about the performance profiles side of it. I tend to prefer the DX of the 2nd one.

And related, I broke the flocking out into a new `Flocker` type, which I accidentally made better by allowing the `Flocker` to also be `MOVABLE`.

In the first tests, Wanderer still had flocking code, which counter-acted the `Sense/Signal`, removing it shows a quicker and more concentrated swarm.

Added a `Sense/Signal` capability in https://mfm.rocks - All `Wanderer` types now stop and signal when they sense `Wall`, creating a loose swarming effect.
