Philomena: Some people have been writing PHP for over 20 years. Is that because it's particularly difficult to finish?

Expert: No, software is constantly evolving.

Philomena: So they've been writing the same website for 20 years?

Expert: No, different projects.

Philomena: Have they tried finishing one before starting another?

Expert: That's not how software development works.

Philomena: My mate Paul spent 20 years building a shed. Turned out he was just an alcoholic.

Expert: Right.

Philomena: Is PHP like that?

I've had nothing but great results with Deno so far, but I wanted to self-host a snippet written by someone else and it's a few years old and included a direct import from some CDN, and this doesn't work anymore right now - the imported lib is not on JSR (but on npm) and I've not really had the nerve to try to untangle this (yes, all my deno stuff so far was 100% handwritten or from stdlib).

Maybe I'll get to it, it's just a small tool but I'm a little disappointed. Not in Deno, or the original author, just that maybe this is the first time where it's just as bad as everywhere else if you can't vendor your deps easily.

I like hyperbole more than anyone else in the world.

For all the internet famous people who seem to come out in favour of Omarchy, so far I'm very happy to see that no one I'm following or having regular contact with has self-identified.

A photograph of a brown otter named Steve standing on its hind legs and leaning against a tree trunk in a softly lit forest clearing.  
Baked-in text:  
“The past tense of William Shakespeare would be Wouldiwas Shookspeared.”  
“#SteveThoughts”

Thanks for that, Steve...

Mostly done with replacing neovim with Vim Classic on all machines. Trialing emacs-bedrocks with evil-mode on my work machine in the meantime.
