Self Care

• https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2009/06/08/drastically-reduce-stress-with-a-work-shutdown-ritual/

and it's this very interesting little post where he talks about at the end of your day; you want to close the book on it. I think this is especially pointed now that many of us are working from home. For me, this is a new thing. And so, I've been very intentional with trying to put walks at the beginning and end of my day.

But in this particular blog post, he describes a routine that he does where he tidies things up and makes his list for the next day. And then he has a particular phrase that he says, which is "schedule shut down, complete."

Tool Sharpening List

Keeping track of very general pain points.

• I'm not using my fish aliases enough.
• I need to just switch back to zsh though.
• It'd be cool to have an abbreviation for lock file resolution. It'd take an argument for the lock file name, probably would be great to have it be very smart (file existence, confirmation prompts, preview).

Make a function to do the authorized_keys dance but it takes an argument for the user.

We Promise We Won't Change Anything

This whole post is probably overly negative but I keep noticing when companies make billion dollar investments/purchases and then promise not to change anything. And then we forget the PR promise as years go by. Talk is cheap, money is not cheap. What company would not want to exert influence or rake in returns? How would you even justify this to your shareholders (or boss) as a passive appendage? No, it's much more tempting to exert will and screw things up with your (maybe) larger or different culture that was not involved in the original success.

This is really, really, really not about the individual companies or data points. Rather, business mechanics.

I think the following questions are mostly about legacy but also fundamentals

1. Why aren't there any spelling bees in Spanish?
2. Why doesn't Chrome have a reading view? (this one not as much)
3. Why does Windows have to install to C:? Why not Z:, 1:, A:, \c or /windows?
4. Why wasn't there a Windows 9?
5. Why is node_modules so large?

This is not the same kind of question:
