   This is fantastic, Aaron! I love it! I was surprised to learn that each recommendation for preferences costs nearly 1 cent. From what I can tell, you don’t seem to be caching preferences. For example, each "Let's Go!" click o

   I think we are a bit alike in our views, but I have a slightly different take on it. I consider coding something like a Chip-8 emulator to be more fun and optimal. It gives a holistic view of the language - you get to work with simple graph

   I just found out about Wesley's blog from the "Colmi R02" post on the front page ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41833200 ). I think his blog is an absolute gem. Check out: * Pictures from Space: a n00b&

   Thanks, my mistake. I’ve corrected it. In my initial draft, I wanted to convey a sense of "enduring innovation" so I used that term symbolically as a placeholder. It went right past me during the final edits.

    Maybe it's the youth in me, but I wholly and fully agree with PG here, and I strive to live by it. However, there's another fascinating school of thought that I read about back when I was an undergrad. It comes from Richard Muller

    Do you think Google is worried about a link exodus if something happens to the Internet Archive ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447758 )? I started maintaining a blog and a corresponding link log in 2019, and I'

    Yes, it can be nice as an archival thing. Keep a directory filled with experimental patches you made to certain parts of your code. Maybe branches are better for certain use cases. I use stash too, but for different purposes. For instance,

    I have a funny little habit that probably stems from a certain degree of paranoia when working on a decent-sized change. I like to keep a local patch of it, as follows: "git diff > works.patch" Later on, you can apply it if nec
