  9. A link to an archive of almost all of _why’s work!

    “Hey, welcome to my collection of why the lucky stiff links. Everything _why has published on the internet should be accessible from here. It works sort of like a museum that sells maps. Many of his abandoned writings are mirrored locally here, and everything else is through external links.”

  13. And the fun craziness of Ruby metaprogramming:

    Seeing Metaclasses Clearly
    If you're new to metaprogramming in Ruby and you'd like to start using it, perhaps these four methods could give you a bit more vision.

  17. One of _why’s poems:

    0.2
    Sister, without you,
    
The universe would
    
Have such a hole through it,
    
Where infinity has been shot.

    This cannot be, though.
    
There will always be room
    
For you--all of us are
    
Holding the way open.

  21. Or this insane and whimsical short story (which is definitely written by a real human) and starts with:

    “(An octopus is busy chaining together air conditioners and, from the audience's perspective, he has piled air conditioners upwards, an endless tower which ascends right up into the zenith. A toy gun and an imaginary van lay in disarray on the floor to establish setting: a child's playroom.)”

  25. Reading about how vacuous gpt5 is when trying to be literary — i remembered _why (why the lucky stiff) and his inspired nonsense/sense!

    Twitter posts 20 years ago:

    “i try to tan my bottom so if people tell me to cram somethinsomethin where the sun don’t shine i can say “oh ho but it does shine! it does!”

    “my sister keeps her sandwich in a holder which, by all appearances, is itself a sandwich. would that everything had such a container.”

  33. Today, August 19th, is “Whyday.” I don’t know if you remember the programmer / artist known as “why the lucky stiff” — but *I* do. I’m observing the day by working on a creative tech project and enjoying chunky bacon.
