I authored ghist to show the last few entries in my git history line-by-line. I had seen a better view demonstrated earlier that day.

Coding

I grew up with gaming and I like to make things. I like to work, alot.

I have been writing computer programs since the unix timestamp had half the runtime it has now. ½tunix!

I made some free stuff.

I re-watched Seven Years in Tibet awhile ago. There is a scene during construction of a movie theatre: the monks and citizens of Lhasa drafted to help dig for the foundations panic because they are endangering the earthworms with their sharp shovels. Construction is halted.

Today I am modernizing an ongoing software project, beginning with carefully constructing a PHP Code Sniffer coding standard from scratch. This project already has a coding standard behind it's current version. I make only those changes to the code that the newly updated coding standard requires to clear warnings and errors. I make steady progress.

A colleague today shared, in regards to PHPs nullsafe operators:

This language feature sounds undesirable to me. I'd rather code just fail if something was null I didn't expect.

I wanted to respond with something but it took hours to arrive at: "it is for when you must expect an ephemeral thing of object type to have non-zero probability of unavailability."

Maybe he'll find this post someday.

Gaming

I am not playing anything at the moment.
