computer programmers want the prestige of an engineering discipline without the responsbility of one

hey, if you make software with a user interface that displays text, I need you to do something:

make your base font-size user-configurable

*you* might be able to read six-point type, but “just lower your screen resolution HUR DURRR" is not the appropriate answer to "how do I make the text in your app bigger?”

After three years of reading all 41 books, and some months of writing & editing, I finally finished my recommendation writeup for Discworld: https://lyonhe.art/book-recommendations/discworld/

It's focused on suggesting some good starting places and overcoming the (bad) idea that one should start by trying read the whole thing

It clocks in at nearly 10k words, but has a writeup on 17 books and a bit about each of the seven subseries

what's the point of all your cookies and tracking and popups and whatnot if I click on a tracked link in your newsletter and the first thing it does is prompt me to subscribe **to your newsletter which you _know_ I am subscribed to?**

Like, what are you doing with this information even? Having your AI snort it like cocaine?
