The best programmers that I’ve ever met hated programming and did everything that they could to avoid it, but at times those same people were able to achieve peak experiences through programming.

Absolutely loved it! Also the perfect opportunity to drop this again (Poltergeist 1982 vs Weapons 2025). Was it intentional? We'll never know.

I’ve consumed enough science fiction in my life to be convinced that there is an LLM prompt that will cause the program to have an existential crisis, manifesting in an infinite loop that destroys the servers running it.

I had the great honor to appear on the Quiet Little Horrors podcast to chat about the 1976 film (and the book that it’s based on) The Tenant.

The end of the year seems like a good time for a surrealistic descent into paranoia and madness, so let's watch 1976's The Tenant.

I've returned to an old #clojure project of mine: a simple templating system called Comb that was inspired by Ruby's erb library.
Comb hasn't changed for 10 years, so long past time it was made stable. I've released version 1.0.0 with the only change being some extra clj-kondo metadata to make […]

Lots of reasons to love using Clojure, but Netflix reminded us of why we don’t want to use anything else…
In 12 years, over 7 different versions of Clojure (from 1.5.1 to 1.12.0) they had zero migrations!
I don’t know how to express how amazing that is
