I've worked around a medium-sized and storied backbone project that (for good reason) didn't have time to "get things right" and hoooooo boy can it get complex and spaghetti.[1] Compared to my confusion making sense of t

Just wanted to say that I really like this question. Very thought-provoking :) EDIT: makes me think of many computation systems in various substrates, and how they work. Focus vs distraction/creativity. ADHD workers in hierarchies of c

It's just a simpler primitive I assume. Blurs and colors and angles are simpler than 3D geometries, so it's probably more aligned with working/thinking with other very low-level primitives with minimal dimensions (like the ma

You've strawmanned me. I'm saying that choosing the "best" places and not stewarding the shared spaces is a form of neglect of shared public goods, public goods that otherwise lead to a strong society that a kid might so

I read this as a framing that allows the author and people like them to warm to the idea, as part of a longer iterative process -- Understanding first, then decide what's warranted, assess how you feel about the thing you did, repeat.

This creeping authoritarianism is why Google's play to force developer registration (before allowing a developers apps to be installed on android) is so irresponsible of Google: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4501
