Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.

The point I'm trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.

Given our thoughts are largely impacted by the vocabulary we know, being able to come up with new words can be considered a super power!

Wait wasn't this the premise of FarCry 6?

This! Software engineering suggests a certain professionalism wich unfortunately is hard to find. From an accessibility point of view I am simply not able to participate in these cowboy style events for I do not have the mental capacity to do so. Ironically I have been able to work more effectively than others by focussing on quality.

Coincidentally I published some of my work earlier this week. It's an opinionated library dictating the structure of your core domain. In return it completely decouples infrastructure. This way you do not really have to touch infra at all during day to day operations, which simplifies things immensely! As the domain exists at the very core of most software projects, it greatly impacts the way everything else is designed as well.

I spent years writing an abstraction to be able to write shorter code... Not sure whether that was worth it 😅

I love spark for how it helps one curate their inbox. For me it made email slightly useful once again!

Start your own personal business. Doesn't matter what you do, and whether you do anything at all.

Works great as a cover for whatever the fuck you've been doing during that time period. Gives a bit of flexibility regarding the storytelling about your own experience and roles as well.
