<p>(how many steps do you think lie from writing a page like this to a suckless-style torch march? -- and other questions that spring to mind)</p>

<p>one of the two main reasons i disrespect plan9 people is because too many of them conflate &quot;what i like&quot; with &quot;sane&quot;</p><p>pictured: werc, software i would not even consider installing after reading the first two lines here</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> I&#39;m always horrified when a developer is asked to riff (commit) on the first day before even hearing the song.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> I think software development is a bit too complex to match to jazz here. There&#39;s the change, there&#39;s the robustness, there&#39;s communication with stakeholders and there&#39;s the future maintainability. Each of them are related, but sometimes benefiting one creates work or takes away from another.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> I&#39;m going with fast iteration &amp; smooth delivery, profiling and debugging. IME no tech stack will make up for that.</p>

<p>Only thing I could really think of is the problem. If you&#39;re not actually working to solve the overarching problem at hand, then the rest of it isn&#39;t going to matter that much.</p>

<p>I&#39;ve taken a lot of jazz improvisation courses over the years. One bit of advice given is that &quot;rhythm is king.&quot; Basically, it means that above all else, if you&#39;re not making rhythm and playing in time, whatever else you do, no matter how &quot;correct&quot; it might be in other ways, it&#39;s still going to sound messed up in a bad way.</p><p>I wonder if there&#39;s some kind of similar concept for software development.</p>

i love when a porn comic actually fills me with joy so much more fun than just being horny
