I've read multiple times that Reddit 1.0 was written in Lisp. I didn't realize the source is public.

It's amazing. You can read the whole thing in one sitting. Even an undergrad could. It's like the essence of a…Reddit.

We took a wrong turn w/ software.

@theo @cwebber for those wondering: Microwaves use a ridiculously high-voltage transformer to drive the Magnetron radio emitter. They also have so many interlocks if not opened up that it's hard to do anything with them 'by accident', you have to go looking for trouble with them

With the amount of sex-related scandals in politics it’s like becoming an eunuch should be a prerequisite for taking office. Or any leadership position whatsoever, where a single drop of drama can dismantle the entire movement.

One of the reasons I stopped making client apps for corporate platforms is because "filling in the gaps" of someone else's platform usually resolves itself poorly. Either the platform holder fills in the gap, they decide the gap goes against their corporate interests, or the gap is itself meaningless and nobody wants a fix for it.

For any young devs out there making a client app for some corpo's API, I strongly recommend not doing that, except for fun projects or things that get you headlines.

LLMs doing that “garbage in - garbage out” thing…

Subtleties of animation…
Had to slice the effect sprite into fg/bg parts and put them on different layers. And synchronize everything manually 😓

I didn’t like that “death by fancy autocorrect” meme at first, but then I’ve begun to be more accepting.

The idea of humanity auto-correcting itself (out of existence) by means of war and/or gross negligence has a certain ring to it.
