Me too! It's been so much nicer not having scrum and moving jira tickets around. We still have an issue tracker but it doesn't rules our lives.

There were a few chips that supported directly executing JVM bytecodes. I'm not sure why it didn't take off, but I think it is generally more performant to JIT compile hotspots to native code.

I just got back from a short vacation on Amtrack. It was my first sleeper car experience -- I slept poorly, but the dining was not too bad. Much better than airplane food and with an excellent view of the fall foliage.

The recent Synology update removed Video Station and HEIC support from Photo Station. I'm annoyed that they can arbitrarily remove consumer focused functionality in an update like that. There has been quite a bit of grumbling in /r/synology about this.

I also find the nix command line annoying. I'll give this a try. I like the embedded `#help` documentation!
