Learning Things

Book: "Now before we begin, you'll need to know vim, bash, Ruby or Python, and expect, so if you don't know those go learn them before we continue!"
Me: "...so all the reviews claiming this was a book for beginners *lied* to me."

(In entirely unrelated news, guess what I'm now learning!)

They're basically all about trauma and how trauma is portrayed and how everyone behaves incredibly terribly in season four because they are extremely traumatized, which is... well, REALLY VERY ACCURATE and the show is doing this thing where it's portraying the effects of everyone suffering from trauma incredibly well without any self-consciousness about that fact (I mean, sure, Jonny wrote this into the show very consciously but he's just *portraying* it, not getting all head-fussed about it), which means it's all there but it blends so well no one really thinks about it too hard or discusses it much except to go "Y'all are BEHAVING BADLY" at various points in time.

Go read! Come back here to discuss if you're so inclined!
