Progress

This week, I smothered the main development branch twice, working on the same feature. That was nice! The colleagues really liked it!

My home server SSD broke and I had to set everything up again. I don't even know what I lost since it died very thoroughly.

• Alita: Battle Angel: I've had this on my viewing list for a long time and finally watched it. It is very strange, because it has all these big names attached, James Cameron and Robert Rodriguze and Christoph Walz and Jennifer Connelly; and then it's just this sappy teen romance between some duded and a super-powerful killing machine, and she also gets stuck in these super-silly situations all the time. Instead of being, you know, a super-powerful killing machine. She also looks like plastic, and her enhanced eyes are fantastically annoying. But the worst thing is that, even after going through the whole "character arc", if you can call it that, she still conforms to the system. The only way to go up is to win the league? So she has to win the league. Even if it was made clear that it's a red herring and there is no way up. Like so many other movies, the world is so full of possibility that it's just so very annoying that all they made out of it is a silly teenage love story. 5/10
