<p>Pretty annoyed with people who tell me that new tools can do the coding for me. </p><p>I love programming. It’s the whole point of being in this stupid industry. I love to write strange loop constructs or figuring out weird API calls. Thinking about code problems is apparently what my brain does at night when my consciousness isn’t looking. Learning - or relearning - arcane programming languages is what keeps me young.</p><p>And now get off my yard, kids, before I bring out my machine code horror stories.</p>

I do, however, believe that doing ketamine while bolstering the streamlining of a carceral system designed to minimize nuance while fucking other people that do ket is very bad indeed. I also think torpedoing therapeutic use by being in a k-hole in the Oval Office and turning it into a joke is also pretty lame.</p>
