Eject disk.

@paninid Interesting.

For me, the hardest part of business is working with other people. I recognize we do more together than alone, but God is it draining to talk to other people who are equally smart in their core disciplines but not good communicators (or even fine communicators but we just don't vibe, because we're human and humans are allowed to not share worldviews or frameworks, it's part of being human).

This essay is doing an excellent job of noting that the systems we build are 100% willing to, and encourage you to, bend yourself to fit them, but we are human and we need control. Not just control: we need something to carve out and defend. A self-identity.

I do databases and data flow all day.

I'm most alive when I'm in 3D graphics.

This image is boring and doesn't mean anything to anyone else but me. Ten thousand game developers and graphics artists can and have done better. There is no bill this will pay.

Taking three hours to make it this weekend has put tank in the gas for the rest of the week.
