@hyde I could never. Although we are switched a bit. I have 262 pages open on my mobile browser.

Also, I'm up to 20 tabs now, and I just did a cleaning, too

This is still at the start of my day, so I only have 9. Only two are Jira! No documentation pages open yet!

DRY is overused and if used too much will lead to terrible abstractions that do too much.

Upcoming blog post schedule for the next month and some change. This might be the most productive I've been with this. I know my attention here won't last, but it has been fun so far. There's some big ones in here:

- An ongoing series on HTTP/2 from scratch (using Go)
- Some funny (I hope), smaller posts
- A sizable update to an existing project 👀

HTTP/2, developer humor, BGP, dava visualization and processing, etc.

Sometimes comments work as a rubby ducky for me. If I can't explain why clearly maybe I am on the wrong path.

fish is, by far, the best shell that I've ever tried. It just works. It has amazing features built in. It doesn't need a ton of configuration to look half decent. I quite literally haven't even looked for plugins for it so I'm not even sure if they're supported. Regardless, I haven't needed any after many years of using fish.

I don't have an example that comes to mind.

But I do want to rant a bit. I've seen a lot of stuff over the years.. but I feel like a lot of those experiences have faded way too much for me. I decided that I need to start journalling tough problems that I've tackled in a personal journal.

I am very lucky to have not done this... but I have been character-strokes away from doing this.
