Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it.
For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more.
Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this.
Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.
@MTNNG Make me understand how ~14GB just disappears from a Silver Broadband Bundle because the daily data usage you notification you sent to me puts my usage around ~136GB.
There's no way 14GB was used for packets transfer.
Do better!
The best thing my students ever gave me. One semester I thought they were just *really* focused on taking notes. Turns out they were compiling a book of all the slightly unhinged things I'd said. It's 152 pages long.
🚀 Opportunity Alert for Recent Graduates!
My company, ASML, just opened applications for a Sourcing & Supply Chain Graduate Acceleration Program 🇳🇱

A very big YES I’m sorry. It’s not just what he does on the ball, but more importantly what he does off it. He covers everyone.
When Valverde goes in attack and can’t come back quick, Pitarch is there helping Trent. Against City there was a time you’d see Trent, Valverde and Pitarch around Doku, bro had nowhere to go. When you think you’ve beaten Trent and Valverde, Pitarch is coming.
This boy is also covering Tchouameni. You’d notice Tchouameni has been going forward a lot in recent games without worrying about who’s behind him. Last night he even went into the box to nod the ball during play, not even set piece. Pitarch’s covering has given him the license to move forward.
He helps Fran Garcia as well when the ball moves that way, he’s everywhere, even when we are on the ball. Sometimes you’d see him with Brahim and Valverde on the right, which was how they created Valverde’s third goal against City. Other times he’s on the left helping Fran and Vini.
Right now, he can’t or shouldn’t be benched, not even for Camavinga I’m sorry. His work rate and the work he does off the ball is way too important for him to be dropped.

When you "hit a wall" in something you are trying to learn, it's typically just a massive debt of unlearned prerequisites that are finally being called due.
The difference between a good event and a great one isn't the lineup. It's how connected your audience feels before they walk in.
That's the gap. Delvent closes it. https://t.co/rG2dt4u7Kt
My angelic, autistic 12 year old daughter Annika drew this pencil and asked me to share it with you. She gets giddy when her content does better than mine, which makes me happy.
Please share it far and wide to keep her fire for art going. We've just barely gotten it rekindled.
