i suppose this is how it's going to go:

1. google chrome bans ad blockers

2. users move to other browsers to surf the web

3. google, youtube, and a ton of other sites that depend on ad revenue dongle themselves to google chrome (and/or any browser that blocks ads)

4. community browsers spoof google chrome but block ads

5. websites try to detect fake chrome browsers

6. tom & jerry chase sequence

7. google becomes a huge fan of the idea of running only "trusted" apps on computers

coding isn't hard, it's just not a great activity for the impatient. if you feel you're constantly running out of time, then coding is pretty much hell.

i think any passionate coder went through that rite of passage one time: get stuck on something, get really angry about it, involve other people, then learn to submit and put in the time.

that's how you fix the hole in the bucket. that's how you join the ranks of yakshavers.

"full stack developer"

• suggests a clear vertically ordered structure
• implies completeness
• sounds like you're improving things and in control
• dignified job description

"turducken wrestler"

• suggests an unholy nesting of things that have no business containing each other
• truly conveys your exasperation
• makes clear how overwhelmed you are
• aptly describes the ongoing shitshow you're co-enabling

systematically confronting people with problems they are powerless to change is a form of torment. "raising awareness" isn't inherently good.

that said, if you happen to be powerless to change your tendency to systematically confront people, then i am truly sorry for bringing this to your attention, and i am asking you to disregard what was said in its entirety, and just carry on as you do.

i'm rewriting my interpreter IR to become even more lean. now the first class datatype is just blobs. we only need aggregates at block boundaries and callsites, so for those there's now a flat argument list type, which isn't composable.
