The gap between "good enough for me" and "good enough to publish" is so big it's amazing any open source projects exist at all.

Somebody cancels a meeting but it’s still on your calendar? That’s free time, baby!

We love to slowly destroy a good thing:

* you can't attribute any one weather incident to climate change, just the increased rate of incidents overall

* you can't attribute any one bug to increased AI usage, just the increased rate of incidents overall

It's frustrating how often I have to hunt down a tiny position for my mouse to live without triggering hover effects so I can read or scroll.

I've been TDD'ing for 20 years and this still sometimes trips me up: it's not a real test unless you've seen it fail for the right reason.

love it when I can set the cruise control and the volume to the same number

Good morning specifically to everyone who told me lack of a language server was blocking them from trying @gren_lang@fosstodon.org

Very excited to try this!

The next Gren Twigs is up. It's the final entry on building a cowsay-powered pomodoro timer on the command line. In this one we add the ability to enter a custom amount of time, which means we are managing form fields and multiple screens in a gren-tui app for the first time. Wild and crazy stuff.
