1. Users of your product don't care about the value of your company.
2. Steps define a sequence. Maybe these aren't steps?

Came across this comment by Knuth:
"By the way,

don't read this."

Suggested automatic replies from LinkedIn reinforce that the only socially acceptable response on social media is a positive one. You agree, right?

Moddable uses the excellent adpcm-xq encoder for embedded audio compression. It's one of my favorite repos to watch. The expertise, patience, and clear explanations of the maintainer, David Bryant, are a model of how it should be done. Here's an example:
