on: Tabby – A Terminal for the Modern Age
I use alacritty. I tried ghostty but not supported on my old home mac, felt slower, and some of the config was not robust. Same with Wezterm, felt slow. Alacritty has worked with no problem everywhere I installed it. Only annoyance was once when the config changed from yaml to toml. Other than that, happy user of alacritty.

on: Functional programming should be the future of software
As someone who uses Scala on a daily basis, I might be biased. However, functional programming is truly the future because of its mathematical guarantees. Pure functions give us referential transparency i.e. we can substitute a piece in a large layer and still expect the entire thing to work as long as it has no side-effects. This has so much relevance to software maintainability. The downside is that, to take advantage of this mathematical guarantee the code has to be pure through and through. A single side-effect can spoil everything. Immutability, is another aspect of pure functions i.e. a pure function wouldn't mutate its inputs.
