For when I have a real site and also posterity. In no particular order, by category. Some I like just cus I like them. Nothing to it, or at least nothing I can articulate at the moment. Don't think just cus something doesn't have a description (yet) that I like it any less.

I'm OK; The Bull is Dead
Working at a tech startup right out of college I found that my natural means of speaking was too verbose and this post helped a lot to curb that habit and get maximal information across in minimal time.
Green Lumber Fallacy
Embracing Cringe
I have my own version of this drafted somewhere. Joan, nor myself, are the first to think this. But I remember hanging with some cringey xD random anime nerds at the time and, while I was (sometimes) embarrassed by their brash display of faux pas, I was at least content I was in the company of people who gave a shit about something.
The Big OOPs
I've always had a nagging feeling about OOP that it wasn't necessarily good. I suspect people, for whatever reason, place too much value on things that seem intuitively correct without scrutiny or logically checking their work. It always seemed intuitively correct that modeling software concepts like how humans talk about them in the real world is cool and good. A dog is a type of animal, who doesn't want that in their software? But it always nagged me that in most other perspectives this seemed... bad? Bad performance, bad boilerplate, bad readability, bad bad bad. This talk gives credence to that sneaking feeling while not indulging me in stupid language wars "2025 is the year FP OFFICIALLY kills OOP" insert surprised face thumbnail BS.
