I write documentation and I program, so I know lots of ways to use a semicolon.

Also, I am making bread, learning Dutch, and doing other normal human activities.

I'm just a simpleton with a humanities education but I'm almost in this camp. The contemporary programmer enjoys fewer avenues for emphasis than Gutenberg. Why does authoring code mostly lack the sophistication of headings, boldface, footnotes, endnotes, appendices, and so on?

This came up when I was auditing browser compat data notes recently. How many BCD notes are about closed bugs? No (practical) way to know 😕

So I very much do not love LinkedIn, but my writing gets seen a lot more widely there than anywhere else I post. I treat it as more or less write-only outlet, which seems to suit everyone involved OK. "It's not for me" is my mantra for when I have to login there. 😅

I believe that someday, someone is going to make the "British Museum repatriation heist simulator" I'm longing for (and I can't wait for the Vatican and Berlin State Museums DLCs either)
