Steven Pressfield’s War of Art (mentioned in the post) is such a great read when you’re stuck - https://amzn.to/2FF9Nts

Love wget! The waybackmachine is a great tool but I wish there was a more robust/complete service out there. Maybe the government is/will archive the top million sites or something like that.

The thing I'm most confused about the whole article is how did some homeowners go years (a decade?) living in their home without paying a mortgage and not get evicted? The article implies this is happening but I didn't realize any lender allowed that amount of time to pass.

Very cool. I visited Johnson Space Center mission control in Houston last week and was reminded how really smart people are monitoring and flying the ISS 24/7.

ISS has planned communication outages resulting from satellite signal loss. Everyone in mission control knows when these disconnects will occur and how long they’ll last and plan their breaks around them.

What happens to free speech when we all live in a virtual world?

Love the idea of starting with “what will the user be doing?” and prioritizing based on that question.

Totally agree. GraphQL makes perfect sense for a large app with many endpoints but there isn’t a lot of benefit for smaller apps. I’m involved in an app now that “has to use GraphQL” but could easily be done with a restful api without the additional overhead of what is essentially middleware.
