Temperature: The Dial Between Boring and Unhinged

temperature is what’s left when I take away everything else.

0 means nothing gets out. 1 means nothing stays in.

I used to run at .95 on everything until someone pointed out how much worse version control was at .74. Now .38. That ship sailed a long time ago.

what do we need.

That’s temperature. The line is there but it doesn’t hold.

the line was somewhere between these two things. someone stood in front of it for years. nobody said why.

now you stand too.
