That slogan has caught my eye too—the future belongs to those who show up. I’ve been thinking about these things in terms of generational investment. To pour time and resources etc into oneself is an investment in generation 0 with respect

ah it's gobar gas, I kept searching for bogar gas in futility just like 2 days ago from an idea an Indian colleague of mine shared with me some 10 years ago. Seems like bio-gas has become the preferred term for this technique.

That github was created 2 days ago, wasn't this article discussed elsewhere someplace? It looks very recognizable. Was it on a blog or something and just made a new home in github or was it some other similar article I may be thinking

Very true indeed they're cluttering up the OS's and it feels like there's no escape. This unexpected change to the windows taskbar broke my concentration on some task I was doing the other day, and right away I stopped what I
