Last week

  • Best thing
    • Jeena talked me through making some actual progress on a bunch of Docker image stuff.
  • Worst thing
    • Democracy is a dead letter and civilization is collapsing.
    • Thinking about code review is hard, although to be honest that seems relatively trivial by contrast to everything else about the world.
