When someone tells you to have a good day, it is customary to respond with "thanks, you too" so no net exchange of days occurs. But a gift freely given conveys no obligation so you would be well within your rights to keep their good day for yourself.

Instead of having a todo list, I have started making numbered todo lists starting at 1. Each list is finite (well, new things have to go somewhere but once I've done the "write this list" task it's finite) and includes only things I can do immediately (if doing something in list N enables a later step, that step goes in at least list N+1).

I don't have to go through them in order, but the numbering provides a sense of progression that one rolling list would not.

OK it turns out I cannot find the motivation to keep several blocklists up to date. Back to turning on NoScript, since the web has become more annoying than it.

I would say when reviewing I'm not looking for bugs so much as things that will make my life harder in the future. Is it the right approach, is it easy to reason about, does it need tests, do we understand why it works?

Since I am very behind on social media, I just read this today https://apenwarr.ca/log/20260316 and I think how CW deals with this in practice is:

• Different levels of review in different branches. Little to no review in specialized/short term branches, extensive review in our long term dev branch. And we work on both concurrently.
• Fill the pipelines. While I'm waiting for reviews I work on other stuff.
• Prioritize reviews/tasks that block other people.

Wait, so, are your direct relatives your out-laws?

If infinite scrolling were opt-in, would people opt in?

I basically wanna make the devolution gun from Super Mario Bros. (1993) for websites. What was once static HTML will be so again.
