This morning, I did *not* plonk a spoonful of Nutella into my oatmeal, despite the jar being right there and me having a suitable spoon in my hand. ​💪

I should have some Nutella later, as a reward for this exercise of willpower :thinknyan:

As a fan of build-free webdev:

This was a triumph / I'm making a note here, "Huge success" / It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

@discatte Oh, that does sound interesting 🤔 I really just want the flavor and not the sugar

@jalefkowit I think one of the very best things I did for my career in computer-touching was to free myself of being devoted to any particular programming language. At one point, I was very much a Perl devotee, bought all the O'Reilly books, went to some conferences and meetups, all that. But now, I get itchy if I stick around in one language for too long

@nyquildotorg I've been on at least a couple projects that involved transliterating Perl to PHP, from one painful framework to another, doing similar things. So much inescapable escaping, yes :sadness: @jalefkowit

Whenever I see a deleted message in Slack with a response thread attached, I'm always like :blobcateyes: ooh drama?

Oh, I just remembered I have a cache of Halloween candy in my office. Dangerous. I should dispose of that properly. Or forget it exists again. One of those.
