There is a software engineering equivalent of the "theater kids" meme, and this is it. There's an abundance of exuberance in this writing.
I'm glad we have such diversity in perspective. It's a nice change from the usual terseness, though I'm not sure I could read in this style for an extended period.
- allears 1y agoTotally refreshing to me. Imagine -- a techie who doesn't take himself too seriously!

- Pxtl 1y agoIt works for this context, which is about an experiment that is fundamentally a bit silly. 10 years ago this would've been all memes, and 20 years ago it would've been performatively elaborate insults. I'll definitely take it over those. btw "toot" is the de-facto standard jargon for "post" on Mastodon-based social media, so that sentence isn't actually an example of this silliness.
