The Geology of Code

The entire history of programming languages is one long project of selective amnesia. Every milestone amounts to someone saying: I don't want to think about that part anymore. →

The Death of Hyacinthus
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo · c. 1752–53
Oil on canvas
Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid↗About this work
Apollo, god of sun and prophecy, loved Hyacinthus — a Spartan prince said to be the most beautiful mortal alive. The two were inseparable, spending their days hunting and throwing discus in the fields. One afternoon, Apollo hurled the discus with divine force. Hyacinthus ran to catch it, but the disc struck him in the skull. Some tellings blame Zephyrus, the West Wind, who loved Hyacinthus too and blew the disc off course in a fit of jealousy.
Hyacinthus died in Apollo's arms. Inconsolable, the god refused to let Hades claim him entirely — from the boy's blood he grew a new flower, the hyacinth, marking its petals with the Greek letters "AI AI," a cry of mourning. Tiepolo captures the exact moment of collapse: the god still reaching, the mortal already gone.

About this site
Welcome to my little nook of the internet :) I'm on a mission to travel the cosmos in search of strange and beautiful worlds (new exoplanet daily!), deep dive into new ideas, tinker with code, share my favorite discoveries, and regurgitate my unstructured thoughts to the world... this site mostly written in HTML, CSS; images displayed in .webp; lightweight Astro + Tailwind framework (goal under 1 MB site for fast loading) ~~~woof~~~ Won't you join me?
