  • A special breed of idiot who firmly believes that you can reverse debt by saying “no, you owe me that”. They usually do that with a brain-gymnastics interpretation of laws and by adding weird markings to legal documents like invoices. Somehow, taping a coin to an invoice and returning it to the sender somehow pays any debt no matter how high. They are instructed by so-called gurus, which ironically refuse any alternative form of payment (e.g. said “coin on the invoice”) except real dollars.


  • I personally like golang a lot for small-ish scripting and programming. It has strong typing and few foot guns (e.g. bash with the weird way arrays are handled, implicit splitting of array items etc). Downside is it needs to be compiled up front and is basically a black box from the CI configuration’s POV (you can inspect the source of a circleci orb or GitHub action for example).
