I've always found the behavior of leaving planes (and just crowd control in general) to be fascinating. The normal way people leave planes seems to be from front to back, and each one wants to go and get their stuff out of the overhead

It's interesting that there was no talk of anxiety. In talking about the availability heuristic, which is refereneced a lot in Daniel Kahneman's _Thinking Fast and Slow_, they also talk about how anxiety tends to activate System

That's great, thanks! I was also curious if you hit scale issues on just one hub. I agree, it's best practice to not have all your eggs in one basket. I'd love to see an HA hub where this would be all taken care of for me,

I find it true that most coding challenges are either about math, or simple algorithms, such as path finding, DFS/BFS, tree traversal, etc. I think it's because they're simple to explain in a quick way, and don't involv
