Sublime, while it can run on an open source OS, is not open source, and the title of the article is "open source alternatives to Dreamweaver".

That sounds great! I'm on mastodon, so I'll check it out! I think there's a lot to be said for challenging new programmers (or ourselves) with randomness challenges. It's one thing to fall back on /dev/random or rand.range() but it's quite another to try to invent other sources of random data from which we can generate our dice roll results. When I teach a dice app to people, I sometimes don't tell them about /dev/random. I give them other tools, like the math operators, time stamps, and other things like that, so they can try to invent randomness. It's a great mental and programming exercise.
