Dang! I am glad it is so good. I loved the original, but was worried the reviews would be, “not enough new innovation”. Very glad they didn’t fall in that trap.

My guess is people can always find someone to tell them what they want to hear. So much easier to be “operating based on the best information you have” than lie knowingly.
I flipped through lainzine and N-O-D-E and I am intrigued! I am new to the sci fi zine scene, what a fun medium for sci fi.
My trick is to rotate subprojects so I am always procrastinating something.
You still have to eventually finish the last subproject, but even that might be procrastinating on something for your next project.
Really excited about YARP. it does some clever things for error recovery that I think should improve Ruby parsing in a bunch of ways.
The sources they list for error recovery are worth a read: https://github.com/ruby/yarp/blob/main/docs/design.md#error-tolerance
I wish they where less common, but it does seem like a good idea to do some challenges before interviewing especially for low to mid level jobs. There are a number of good sources. I like "Project Euler". a lot of the popular options like hackerrank or codesignal are very gamified. Go for it if that is your thing, but i find scores and points feel very dehumanizing for me.

Looks like lots of payments happened as well as arrests!
The wheels of justice are slow, but they do move.
