<p>As "just a guy that programs" (ok, now guides agents to program) and tries to follow the rules (with a big dose of pragmatism), this totally makes sense to me.  This is also the first time I've seen or heard about this coming.<p>I like that we now have a way to not being forced to define Resources when we want to query.  It always felt like I was missing something that there could be an infinite, defined-on-the-fly number of Resources for a "part" of a given Resource.  Do I really want to define "all cats that sleep more than 20 hours a day and like sunbeams and want to eat breakfast at 3 am" as a Resource? (ok, we all know that is actually the full set of cats). I'm ok that you want to define that as a Resource but in my system, it makes more sense that Cats is the Resource and I just need some accepted way to query.<p>I like the implementation (again, as just a guy that programs). I don't see how it could have done it better or simpler which probably hides the complexity of getting there.<p>I also especially appreciate how the spec is written.  Opening a spec, I wonder how far I'll get before I don't know what the heck they're talking about (and, again, as just a guy that programs).  I don't think it's easy to write a spec that is complete and approachable like this.  Really appreciate that.</p>

<p>What a great project. Congratulations.  I grew up getting to drive mini-bikes, lawn mowers, tractors, the old truck, etc. Now that I’m older and live in bug cities, I know so many younger people who say they just don’t like or feel comfortable driving.  They never got to drive smaller wheeled things as they grew up. When my never-been-behind-the-wheel, and nervous, NYC niece and nephew hit 14-15, I took them to a large open space in our Mini Cooper and told them to pound it. Floor it, crank the wheel, etc - to give them the feeling of having fun driving while getting a good feel of it.  And seeing their smiles was awesome.</p>

<p>I don’t like April Fools jokes but loved this one.  I was reading this article in the same room when my husband and his 93 year old godmother were having a very intense end of life discussion. When I realized it was a joke, I was snorting not trying to laugh.</p>
