Pricing

I made a mistake in my last blog post. The higher power contact me again, and this time he told me that it was wrong to call sexmal a "reducer", it's actually a transcoder that performs reduction. That's OK, we all make mistakes. Your value as a human isn't reduced just because you make a mistake.

Speaking of reduction, I'm not writing this blog post in sexmal at all, I'm using markdown. It's a reduction of capabilities, but I think the cost is justified for the simplicity. Just looking at my first blog post below this one (in my editor) and I'm getting another headache.

Here's an excerpt:

 ((a (@ (href "https://blog.mailpace.com/blog/using-html-modules/")) "HTML modules?"))

 ((a (@ (href "https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/137")) "Not")
      " "
      (a (@ (href "https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/285")) "yet")
      ".")

OOUGHH

Speaking of markdown, that's a pretty clever name. It's almost calling itself the bargain-bin markup language. But, would that mean the concept of markup languages is overpriced? So maybe markdown is just normally priced, the name isn't self-deprecating at all, it's just normal.

Speaking of self-deprecation, cheeky self-deprecating names are always amusing, git maybe being my favorite, after my own suix of course. I tried sourcing the Torvalds quote about him naming git after himself, but I couldn't find a direct source. He may have never said it, I may not be looking hard enough. I'm not going to reduce myself to scouring the internet for one quote just to make my blog post slightly more interesting.

Speaking of this blog, is this second post too soon? Am I devaluing my posts by making too many of them too quickly? I should end this one now before I run out of quirky topical tie-ins.
