You give up > 90% of your potential audience. It's a little odd to hear your amplified voice. Ask to show up early to practice. Audio engineers want you to sound good and will show you how to use the mic well.

Plenty of PRs and issues; trying to make more progress on SQLite perf. https://twitch.tv/pushcx30 Apr 2026 14:08 +0000at://did:plc:eodtpr3gmvggrlwtsf3d27au/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkps2rffkc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/push.cx/post/3mkl25z5gys2jThis is also what’s wrong with IRC. Bots are fake users that have to squeeze UI and data through regular chat messages. The dysfunction is that the successful experiments never get incorporated into the tooling.
