Two things here:

1. Homestar Runner is 25 year old, jesus. 👴🏻
2. The "Back to a website" song here is DEEPLY relatable.

I just finished the last day of this year's Advent of Code; thanks so much to @ericwastl for this bright spot in December. This was my favorite year yet!

Rob left out the part where I had an encoding bug and I got to tell him that THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

…and then realized I had written a fix months ago and reverted it because it made the code more annoying and (I quote the commit message) “I’m the only person that will use this.”

My team is hiring a small handful of senior engineers: come work with me on mongosync! Remote-friendly, US/Canada; about half the team is remote, mostly east coast. I'm happy to talk with anyone that wants to know more!

Music Theory Online Vol. 30, No. 1 was published today. This is notable because I didn't have anything at all to do with it, for the first time since Vol. 17, No. 1 in April 2011 – I hung up my editorial assistant hat in January, having assisted in whole or in part with 13 years of the journal and nearly 500 articles.

Happy 30th, MTO! My favorite part of the SMT, and I'll miss it (but won't miss doing self-employment taxes because of it).

I am no longer an academic, but I have long held a soft spot for librarians of all kinds, and this post from the Duke library staff is a great example of why.
