What the hell.

I would like to think I’m a decent developer. I know what I’m talking about when it comes to code.

I do not know what I’m talking about in other fields. So I don’t speak like I know what I’m talking about there.

Hopefully PG learned this skill in the last 20 or so years.

As the old saying goes, hope in one hand, Lisp in the other.

If you try it, I personally hope you’ve got a damned good garbage collector…
