Writing a Lisp is one of my favorite projects. I try to do it every year or two, taking a different approach each time.

Are the 14,078 share events from unique users? If not, the usage rate would be even lower (<0.21% of users share but sometimes share multiple times).

Blogs are free/cheap to host, not necessarily free/cheap to produce, and they might have a huge impact on the reader. I am happy to support my favorite content creators in a small way.

My agent checks my session logs to look for things that I should automate. I blogged about how I got there: https://austinhenley.com/blog/automatingmyjob.html Maybe I'll share some of the skills.

We used to call this “concept count”. You usually want to minimize the number of core concepts that make up your product. I’ve also heard it as the “nouns and verbs” of a product.

I wish there was a writeup about the emulator. I did find the documentation for the language: https://spectre-docs.pages.dev

I was trying to compare the two. At first glance, MonoGame has far more stars and recent commits. Or is it just in maintenance mode?

It was a convention to denote a variation or version. Not sure how the trend started though.

You deduct the expenses you paid, not the income you hoped to earn.
