- "You can make any software you want now!" ??? you could always make any software you want
- 2070: React, Node, git are still ubiquitous. AI moved us up a level, and the lower levels ossified as usual. Most programmers have never thought about alternatives; a few deify the people who made them; a very few lament what could've been. The story of Unix, all over again.
- if you only need to screw one screw per year and you're a hammer expert, fuck it, hammer the yearly screw
- iPhones show you headphone levels in "dB", which doesn't mean anything. (dB C fast? dB LAEq 10? dB FS?) I hate this. But I think many people would think it's fine (they don't know what they don't know). In an effort to fit in, I will now refer to all weights/masses as ounces.
