      Which word should we misuse and abuse next week? I feel like roughing up “liminal” a bit. Just ate a liminal cheese and potato puff.

      I hope you do “liminal” since it might result in a @vgr v. @sarahdoingthing showdown. Her post on liminality is a favorite. Comes to mind ~weekly for me

      I’m still getting a read on you. Maybe I’ll figure it out at refactor camp.

      Dorian isn’t coming to refactor camp afaik 🤔 Haven’t yet met him in person. I have a 50% suspicion he’s just an XSLT stylesheet running on a corpus of XML documents created by ancient aliens on a server somewhere in Canada.

      No it’s a normal people-of-world thing. Only Bay Area people default to actually eventually meeting everyone they connect with online 😀

          Didn’t mean it that way, I think it’s just a nice affordance of living in the tech Mecca that you guys take for granted sometimes 🙂 NY/London people are the same way around finance.

          having to get on an airplane kinda messes with stuff although i suppose seattle is daytrip distance, but then of course you're moving 😂

          ~50% chance I’ll end up back in the area after the gig. I like what I’ve seen of LA but I suspect it’s too big-city for me to deal with for long. Though Seattle is growing out of reach too. Actually checked out Bellingham last year as a potential lower-cost base.
