Sometimes I wonder if my late-in-life recent appreciation for maths* be just a symptom of having failed to die {in a bizarre gardening accident, driving off Skyline Blvd} while my body could still handle following the childish dream of hex, bugs, and rock&roll. * link "Haskell? I was into those guys before they were cool. Miranda, man, that even had diagonal comprehensions... Have you heard of Hope? Kiff this, mec..." Lagniappe: ▶ this video

I want to highlight Dylan Beattie while we're posting our favorites. link His song DMCA is my little favourite, but "You Give REST a Bad Name" is also excellent. And he does perform at conferences! (Mostly .NET ones) ▶ this video

Good point. In the spirit of link I propose we add "european programmer's day", celebrated on 5.12 (Dag Sinterklaasje)? Let's all meet here again. I'll bring a bottle or two of Pastis 512 (unfortunately adjusted with magic marker instead of a hex editor) and we can blast Dylan Beattie and the Linebreakers: ▶ this video
