(author here) Okay I know this is how the internet works, but I posted my essay here a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43664345 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43664345) and it died a silent death. Excited to read the comments! But damn the internet is unintelligible sometimes.
