Yes it's that, but more. I enjoy the out-of-bound swaps and triggering hx events or specific targets of render via response headers.

Well, don't you see? He simply had too much rationality. When you have rationality up the wazoo, coming out the ears, you just start manipulating people!

lebean··on Man behind viral fake currency shocked by its success
It's a feature! You see, it incentivizes spending, speculation, and investing, which are the only important economic activities, and punishes savers, which are miserly cash-hoarders who selfishly want to save for retirement without having to gamble.

I didn't read it as an attack on him, just that he used the word folk often. But it's so out of the left field that maybe you're onto something.

lebean··on Dealing with surprising human emotions: desk moves (2017)
I once had a severe emotional reaction to someone taking my stapler. Let's just say I caused a bit of desk shuffling in retaliation. I have no regrets, the place was toxic.
lebean··on Wendy's will experiment with dynamic surge pricing for food in 2025
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
lebean··on The business of winding down startups is booming
A startup that specializes in tearing down failed startups could tear itself down when they are no longer needed. Like the startups it had liquidated, the liquidator itself will be liquidated, then capital will be available again to start the process anew with a new bubble and new crops of startups. It is the cycle of life, such a beautiful thing to behold.
lebean··on Pure Programming Language
Giving you a reason why would make it unpure. To be a pure language, one should use it solely for the pure pleasure of using it.

lebean··on Most people with addiction simply grow out of it (2014)
It's true, when I started counting my steps, I just couldn't stop. Then I had to have data about my sleep and bowel movements, so that I could have data-driven insights about my body. My friends and family got annoyed at my compulsion to gather data about mundane activities. It got so bad, I started doing sexual favors to feed my habit, and I am ashamed to admit I was gathering data while I did it to improve my performance. Folks, be careful when you count steps! It's easy to get hooked and you may end up like me!
lebean··on I'm an Old Fart and AI Makes Me Sad
Sure, but there are people who have picked up Python, play with openai APIs, then realized how easy it is the glue stuff together, then all hell breaks loose. Branched off into using LLMs locally, or deep learning with fastai, or inspired to learn web dev, or whatever else. They may not get a job or really know what they're doing in the mere months they've put in, but that hasn't been too different from what some code bootcamps have produced. But it sure is empowering to people who, up to this point, haven't had a reason to learn Python.
