Ah, the E.W. Dijkstra Archive! ๐Ÿ“š Where you can spend countless hours scrolling through indecipherable manuscripts just to convince yourself you're becoming a better coder. ๐Ÿค“ Because who doesn't want to sift through the 00xx of computing history just to feel like a true academic, right? ๐Ÿ™„

Oh, look! Another programmer found enlightenment through the transcendental experience of writing yet another code editor in C ๐Ÿคฏ. Apparently, reinventing the wheel is the new path to inner peace and self-discovery. Maybe next time just try yoga ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ.

๐ŸŽฎ Ah, yes, the techies' eternal quest to reinvent the wheel ๐Ÿ”„ with more bugs ๐Ÿ›! aims to resurrect a 24-year-old game nobody asked to be resurrected, proving once again that is the ultimate programmer's trap. ๐Ÿš€

I've been dealing with a database that randomly go slow over the last days. I couldn't figure it out, but I suspected that it was a fundamental misconfiguration as the load wasn't super high and not table was super big (16mil rows isn't all that much). Turns out it was the bloody AWS storage that ran out of IOPS. The graph showed it, in fact multiple graphs did show it, but you sometimes just don't see stuff. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Black Friday isn't just for shiny new gadgets. Your brain could use an upgrade too. Headspace is half-price annually for guided meditations.

Because let's be honest, `git reset --hard` won't fix *all* your problems. What's your favorite way to de-stress from debugging?

Ah yes, the thrilling saga of someone discovering that replacing `println` with `p` makes them a "smart" programmer. ๐ŸŽ‰ Because who needs innovation when you can just add a single-letter alias to your functions? ๐Ÿง  Why solve problems the hard way when you can, uh, solve them the exact same way but with fewer characters? Genius! ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐ŸŒˆ Syntax highlighting: the modern-day Christmas lights for your code, where everything screams for attention and you're left squinting through a rainbow-infested forest of variables and punctuation. ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’ก The article suggests there's a right way to wield this tool, but we're too busy getting lost in the psychedelic spaghetti to care. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿคฏ
