Ah, the cause of the weirdest bug I ever debugged. Obvious in hindsight - but we were totally puzzled as we continued debugging further and further down the stack of why one particular random seed would cause a fuzzed-input test to cause so

`$JOB` recently introduced the `#red-diffs` Slack channel. I just submitted ` +4 / -28,742`. Pretty proud.

Wow - this is the complete opposite tone I had expected from this book, given the title.

Yes, and - it's not hypocritical to derive benefit from the results of activities that you disagree with, so long as you don't thereby meaningfully contribute to or legitimize those activities. I fully expect that the average audi

Correct. What's your point?

People can't afford to live in cities? Well, they should simply choose to live elsewhere. People choose to live outside cities, but want access to basic utilities of modern life? Well, fuck 'em.

"safely" is shorthand here for "with an appropriate degree of safety net and recoverability". There is a whole spectrum of risk between "only carrying activities that are 100% certain to succeed" and "tryi

You're shifting the goalposts. I agree that status signalling happens in hobbies. I disagree that everyone who indulges in a hobby does so purely - or even mostly, or at all! - in order to be able to tell stories about ways they manage

Right, yeah - I'm specifically _not_ talking about development (I agree that the likelihood of mismatches causing bugs is so small as to be worth fixing as that arises, rather than wasting effort on building a containerized dev environ

Curious what you build/work on? If you're only shipping software library or tools, then yeah, your perspective makes sense - `asdf` or `mise` seem superior to `devcontainer`s. But I wouldn't want to deploy a web application w

I have several hobbies, and none of them revolve around artifical scarcity or gatekeeping. (Well, the way that _some_ people play Magic: The Gathering does - but I wouldn't want to play with anyone who raised a stink about proxies)

Spelling can still be phonetic even if groups of letters have differing sounds from those letters' sounds serially in isolation. The key criterion is that the rules must be universal, applying to every instance of those groupings, rath
