“Why not just use Lean?”
I have been told that when proposing to formalise mathematics these days, you have to explain why you are not using Lean. And that reminds me why I left the dependent-typed world 40 years ago: its cultism, insularity and conformity. Lean is a great language with good tools, a large library and a huge, enthusiastic…

D as a C Replacement
Sircmpwn (the main developer behind the Sway Wayland compositor ) recently wrote a blog post about how he thinks Rust is not a good C replacement . I don’t know if he’d like the D programming language either, but it’s become a C replacement for me.

Thoughts on OKRs
OKRs are one of those business ideas that are just simple enough to be dangerous. You think you understand it in a day, and you can see where your company is falling short: lacking focus and underdelivering. You see how clear, measurable goals could improve the situation.
