A few months ago there was a big thread on documentation and I said I was convinced that markdown files and an SSG was the way to go, with some kind of web CMS that auto gits for the non technical people. It got a huge amount of upvotes but

Try and reframe the experience as the price paid for learning this valuable lesson. Sharing this as you have done may help others avoid making the same mistake which is another positive you can take. It will take time, but if you can refram

I’ve been doing a similar thing with Brilliant and really enjoying it. It feels like every course is orientated around teaching maths from a problem solving perspective so you actually get why you’re learning stuff rather than teachers just

I use two HomePod Minis at the minute which are wirelessly connected as a stereo pair to Apple TV which is connected via HDMI to a projector. Works great. I believe Apple products do some processing magic so that the video and sound are in
