I periodically see "diffstatic" as a typo of difftastic. I quite like it: makes me think of 'ecstatic' rather than 'fantastic'. I've eventually configured typos CLI to prevent this spelling on the difftastic repo, but it makes me smile every time.

It's easy to observe software getting slower over time. It's nice to periodically reflect on software features that have become faster: sound codecs, JS execution, CSS engines.

I'm still periodically surprised by how flexible Emacs is with symbol naming. Today's surprise: @ is acceptable!
