i have no idea what i'm doing
in addition to coining the terms hypertext & hypermedia, Ted Nelson also coined the term "clanker" *in context* over half a century ago and i am LOSING MY MIND

a good article except for the end, I in fact own many hinges and claims to the contrary are FALSE here i present photographic evidence (below, after the text of this bluskie, see below)

"htmx thinks HTML is the only true hypermedia"

what you are seeing is full stack live step debugging on the MTMC-16: C code, the assembly for it & the machine, in a coherent, unified & visually compelling whole

consequence in computer science education will never be the same

releasing next friday

hanks to the incredible work by twitter.com/ClassicGamerTWR
and a very small amount of work by me, the MTMC-16 now has a time-traveling debugger

this will make explaining how loops, conditionals, functions etc. work at the assembly level so much easier for students to understand!

htmx is only useful for toy projects like managing the networking infrastructure of the 2024 Paris olympics

went on SE Radio, the @spectrum.ieee.org software engineering podcast to discuss htmx, REST, the uniform interface, software engineering issues, etc.

interesting question, I only briefly looked at MCP and it seems RPC-like w/a bit of discovery around the edges, but it seems like adopting the ideas of hypermedia into it might be an interesting direction to go

maybe that paragraph is no longer true?
