There's a little-known letter from Chaucer that records his tasting flavor-blasted doritos

Days like today I am so glad to be out of the SRE on-call rotation game
I don’t need an intermediate CA rotation in my life, heartbleed was enough for me
Writing in “George Bailey” for every candidate on my midterm ballot then going home to respectfully avoid eye contact with my wife as we prepare to retire for the evening into our separate beds
Venture Capitalists are burning so much money to ghostwrite posts with LLM tokens when they could easily get the same level of insights they’re used to with an incompetently-written Markov chain
I can accept many of the inevitable aspects of aging, but the exponentially-increasing rate of bodily maintenance is obnoxious purely from the perspective of how much time it takes to keep things running smoothly
Flying my Roadster to the nearest Wendy’s and crashing through the roof, emerging from the twisted wreckage screaming that I need three Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers immediately or I’ll die
Alright I’m building the CachyOS kernel from a nix overlay I found, let’s see if it’s all that and a bag of chips
I take umbrage at comments like “you aren’t nearly as good at coding as the models are” because I have often been fortunate enough to receive pointed and high praise from very competent coworkers about the code I write and regularly find dumb things in agent PR reviews
This is already too much Linux; I’d prefer a release with even more compiler guarantees and less C guesswork
Ubuntu 26.10 has been released.
The big new feature? Ubuntu “completes the rollout of the Rust-based uutils coreutils”.
To give you an idea how important “re-write everything in Rust” is to the team at Canonical:
- “Rust” was mentioned 8 times in the short press release. And “Rust” is highlighted in the sub-title of the announcement as well as the first paragraph.
- On the flip-side, “Linux” was only mentioned 3 times. And not talked about until the end of the release.
Based on this (and every other statement from the Ubuntu team), it’s clear that “Rust” is the most important thing for Ubuntu right now.

*sidles up to wife* My mom is taking the kids tomorrow and we don’t have any appointments. Do you want to go see… Coyote vs. Acme
