@qsdnl Reminds me of my $HOME directory.
I've considered going as far as making it read-only to prevent software from adding crap.
But so much software would just straight up break.
@LewisCTech Although morally correct, this approach suffers from diminishing marginal utility. Shipping slop wins in the current environment.
But solving that is a social, political, and spiritual matter that is much, much heavier than changing your sprint methodology.
@ThePrimeagen Some skills deserve more development than others.
In the 70s, you couldn't be a software dev without being ruthlessly efficient.
In the 20s, it's the same, but most of the time, you measure efficiency not in bytes, but how much of your attention it requires.

I *think* the system I have will work. The robot spat out a plausible implementation based on the design.
But I want to take some time to write out the rules very explicitly and build something with it to really get a feel for using it before I commit.
@mitchellh@p_millerd My wife (also from SoCal) had a half hour long phone call today with her mom about this trend.
Do you have any insight as to what the craze is?
@HostOfMeta It's called haplology: when a word loses a sound sequence because similar sounds occur close together and speakers simplify the form.
bytescode => bytecode
The /s/ is dropped because the cluster /tss/ is awkward, and speakers tend to reduce it to something easier to pronounce.
@jamonholmgren Syntax still matters because little things will always matter.
Although, I agree that it shifts how I allocate my daily frustration beans 🫘
