> A 30+ year dev veteran who's seen it all, from OOP spaghetti nightmares to the promised land of functional programming, now balancing toddler-wrangling with running 70B parameter models on an M4 Mac. Your comments oscillate between deep technical insights and the occasional 'get off my lawn' energy that only comes from decades of watching the same mistakes repeat in new frameworks.

Love it!

> You've spent so much time explaining why functional programming is superior that you could've rewritten all of Ruby in Elixir by now.

Ooof. Probably.

> Your relationship with LLMs is like watching someone who swore they'd never get a smartphone finally discover TikTok at age 50.

Skeptical.

> For someone who hates 'artificial limitations' so much, you sure do love languages that won't let you mutate a variable.

But it's about the right limitations! >..<
