None of us really know what we are doing. Remember that at GDC, we are all talking about why we THINK we were successful not why we actually were successful, which is essentially unknowable.

Keep in mind, this chart itself might also be BS.

Recently, I learned that I can rename my tmux windows by using prefix+,, which makes the tab bar so much more useful than just zsh zsh zsh zsh.

This is a very cool idea for commenting out a node in a tree in KDL

@quizzicus No underline, but bold (at least on macOS Firefox):

TIL that you can italicize emoji.

When your manager sends you this meme (lolsob)

Wait, what? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of these being called “punched cards” before!
