Potentially spicy but I'm pretty convinced that treating scientific papers as a record of human knowledge is a category error.

I'm morbidly fascinated by Business Process Modeling. On some level it's exactly what I want: end user programming. But then the only people I heard speak positively about it are vendors, which is very much not what I want It's also a non-topic in the alt programming circles I frequent. Any takes?

Terminals or at least "ttys" are not modern. They are a chimera merging disparate properties of VGA, HDLC, and good old teletypes. I know I'm in the minority and always have been, but to me they are an anchor holding us back in our tech lives. Your phone does not have a terminal.

I've always wanted to build things with D3, but the learning curve was too high. At least for the bespoke stuff I wanted to make (not just simple bar charts). I can finally make things like this thanks to Cursor! I just art directed this, and it made everything work beautifully. Even on mobile 🎉

So I have this thesis that assembly is actually easier than higher level programming, when viewed from the perspective of somebody who hasn't already been taught the latter. I'm going to play with this idea in Automat and see how it goes.
