Now that we're here I want to tell you about some things I hate. To clear out any suspense they are: 1. April Fool's 2. Deadlines 3. New Boost Website April Fool's I can't stand this fauxliday and I refuse to participate. Every year sees the C++ community produce an outsized load of lame jokes. The problem, I think, is that comedy on some level has to come at someone else's expense. Good comedy at least. Our community is so damn politically correct that folks are afraid to make a really good joke for fear of getting canceled at some level. Deadlines I hate deadlines. People ask me "how long will this take" and honestly I have no idea. About a decade ago I stopped trying to estimate how long things take as I never was able to give a reasonably accurate answer. I'm good at writing the code, but figuring out how long it will take - not so much. During development, unanticipated stuff comes up. A discovered design flaw or implementation obstacle, which can't be predicted. These days I just figure that if a project is properly staffed and there is reasonable daily progress, eventually it will get finished. New Boost Website Well I don't hate the whole thing but there is definitely stuff which is bothering me. Like how long the thing is taking. Seems like it is still not ready to go up on boost.org. But more importantly I have to be honest... I'm not feeling this Cairo font. I am just going to come out and say it: the old Quickbook stylesheets are superior to the new stylesheets which render in Cairo. Compare: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_85_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__b... vs. https://www.boost.io/doc/libs/1_84_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/ref/boost__be... or https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_85_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/concepts/Dyn... vs. https://www.boost.io/doc/libs/1_84_0/libs/beast/doc/html/beast/concepts/Dyna... The new one is better than it was a month ago, thanks to Julio our new frontend developer. But it is still not as good as the old one. I cannot in good conscience propose replacing something old with something new unless the new thing is demonstrably superior. Or at the very least, equally as good. So I think we still have work to do. Thanks
