Even English has words that are pronounced differently depending on context.

For example "I read to my son" could be pronounced two different ways depending on tense. "I read", vs. "I red".

There are other examples too, off the top of my head "I polish my shoes", vs. "I have a polish friend.". Or "the bow of a boat", vs. "at the end of the play the actors take a bow".

There are often comments of the form " I've been thinking of doing x, is there any interest?"

The answer is always yes! Partly because no matter how niche a topic is there are people interested in it, and partly because creating such things will help your own understanding.

Go for it!

To me it seems insane that a doctor should care about the price of necessary medicines they're prescribing.

If the insurance is available, and so good, then they should handle the payment stuff. A doctor should be learning about treatment, research and patients, not which company has the cheapest drugs this month.

I think that's an America-centric view. In a lot of places in Europe it wouldn't matter what neighborhood you lived in - the schools available would be equally good.

Only if you're unhappy with what you have, and need something that is available in jenkins and not gitlab ci

Me? I'd say no. Switching without specific reason is just busy-work..

There are several "celebrity" bloggers who keep this trend alive. I find it annoying too, but better that than some of the other approaches which involve constant! Exclamation!! Marks everywhere!!!

A few zine-style approaches manage to capture the worst of both worlds, but I guess if others find it endearing and cute then good luck to them!!
