I've owned the domain "programming.lol" for two years.

It's up for renewal but I didn't manage to do anything with yet. Maybe next year is going to be different - but is it really?

Any suggestions what I could build?

Check this out, vim nerds! Root Loops just shipped exports for vim & neovim!

It's still a bit rough. No Treesitter support, no plugin support. Things seem to look a little better with `:set notermguicolors`, but it's a start. I'll refine it over the next few weeks.

This has got to be the wildest "back in my days" blog post I've ever written.

Now that that one's published I'll go back to tell those lousy children to get off my lawn 👴

Don't you hate how cumbersome it is to lug an air horn around all day just to have it ready when the urge hits to be the most obnoxious person around?

Yeah, me too.

I built a small web app to make our lives easier.
