already helping with dm’s 😹

If Trove raises the full amount, I won’t be posting for three months. Don’t give your money to these grifters celebrating washed testnet volume.

Mole v1.20 is out. There are quite a few fun additions this time, so I will leave the details to the changelog. Before getting into that, I want to share a personal story behind this release. Ten years ago, when I was a sophomore, I found Hackers and Painters in my university library. That book deeply influenced how I think about engineering and about myself. It helped me realize that engineers are not only problem solvers, but also builders with taste and a sense of beauty. Since then, I have tried to build things that are simple, useful, and pleasant to use. Mole is one of those attempts. Through building it, I unexpectedly had the chance to connect with Paul Graham, which still feels a bit surreal. Open source has brought Mole a lot of encouragement from developers around the world. It has also brought some doubt and unfair assumptions, simply because I am a Chinese developer, and at times that has been painful. Still, far more people have been kind, curious, and generous with their time and feedback. I believe open source should be open, friendly, and free from politics. Code has no nationality. English is not my first language, but I enjoy connecting with developers everywhere, and I hope we can keep building and learning together. Mole on GitHub: github.com/tw93/Mole
