At the RenFaire this weekend, someone got hurt badly in a black powder explosion. A rumor said they got their hand blown off. And less than 24 hours later there were jokes about it on Facebook. I think this is terrible, both the accident and the reaction.

I've written maybe as much as 100,000 lines of #rust and I'm starting to get the hang of it I think.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

I've heard multiple people say that Rust makes you a better programmer in other programming languages. And I don't think that's true, it makes me an angrier programmer in other programming languages.

I have a hard time understanding why people wait until the last day to vote.

It's just so much better to get it done earlier.

With the length of some of the episodes in season 4 of Stranger Things, I think season 5 will be just one episode but 62 hours long.

Whenever I wrote something clever, it comes back to bite me in the end. Dumb and simple code always wins.

I also came up with a Halloween idea: instead of "trick or treat", I'll knock on doors saying "trick or try DBOS"? 👻
