Is This A Good Idea?

Some thoughts on ideas that have been done before.

If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

Publicly shaming people does not make them better. So stop it.

MovableType still feels very early 2000s.

Open, closed, and in between, we can’t always discuss everything we work on.

The drama is that which we brought on ourselves.

The circle of hell of dependencies is one we may never climb out of.

Do we need to know why the upgrade has to happen now? Do I need to understand the why?

Clunky code because I can’t just say ‘is_url’ for some reason.

No one said this was easy. And if they did, they lied.
