ken.fyi: The Royal Order of Operations

The Royal Order of Operations

I always thought it would have been funny to have used that name for something substantial somehow. Instead, I’m spending it on the title of this page. But, it just fits too well for me to care.

Because I decided that on this page is where I’m going to keep my list of lists about which order things should go in and (optionally) explain why.

Strong opinions held loosely. Change my mind.
