I've seen you mention articles from The New Yorker, NY Times, The Atlantic, and some others. What other magazines do you read? How do you find these articles? I also want to improve my information diet.

I read widely, but don't have any specific magazines. I do have a New Yorker subscription and often look up stuff there. But it's mostly being linked to there from other pages and/or looking up things by the same author. I remember Ben Taub, for example, then I google him and try to figure out if he's written something. I often walk the tree, so to say: find something good, figure out if they wrote more, figure out if they read other things, etc.

The antirez post's final line reminds me of Perlis quote from the wizard book about not losing sight of the fun in programming.

Also, please send help: a hole opened up in the ground and swallowed me.
