Sat in the airport, supping Earl Grey and writing a patch to `rustdoc` so I can test a fix for a nasty ICE. #rustfest #rustlang #rust-lang

"OK Boomer" only works on Boomers from Google. If your Boomer is from Apple, you have to say "Hey, Boomer." If it's from Amazon, you can simply preface your instruction with "Boomer", e.g. "Boomer, stop."

Unofficial time of 27:07 but I know I fluffed the timing. Hopefully under twenty seven but no clue. Hard to run today. Possibly hard to breathe, unsure.

I just had two crumpets slathered in butter and Marmite XO -- what better fuel for hacking on rustdoc? #rustlang

My most embarrassing mistakes as a programmer: * I didn't ask for help * I was afraid of what others would think * I didn't follow through on a promise * I didn't step up and take responsibility * I avoided conflict My biggest mistakes had nothing to do with programming.

I realise some of you have got used to seeing my ugly mug on a Saturday morning, but I'm very tired after a long week and an awful night, so I'm using the rain as an excuse not to parkrun. Maybe I'll gym later, but I think I need a weekend off.
