      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n22/katherine-rundell/consider-the-giraffe">Katherine Rundell on giraffes</a>. Unexpectedly fascinating.</p>
<p><a href="https://sokyokuban.com/#0">Sokyokuban</a>, a Sokoban game set on a hyperbolic plane. Mind-bending in a great way.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.swyx.io/preemptive-pluralization">Shawn Wang on preemptive pluralization when developing software</a>. This seems like a wise practice. (Not following it has bitten me more than once.)</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/mmulet/code-relay/blob/main/markdown/HowIDidIt.md">Michael Mulet on how he made a video game in a font</a>. Fascinating and horrifying.</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.ayjay.org/the-blog-garden/">Alan Jacobs on blog gardens</a>. I’m particularly intrigued by the idea of writing about the same topic in depth over longer periods of time as a way of organically writing what effectively amounts to a book.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Links #42">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
