"2025"

THE ABSTRACTIONS BUILT ON NIX (MORE SPECIFICALLY FLAKES) MADE NIX MORE COMPLEX, INSTEAD OF SIMPLER.

I WOULD CALL THIS MY 'ANALYTICAL MIND'; NOT 'INTELLIGENCE'

THINGS FEEL MANIC AND CHAOTIC. WE ARE MOVING AT HYPER SPEED. ALL TO MAKE A FEW AT THE TOP A FEW BUCKS SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE ON.

SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT MARATHON TRAINING FOR THE AVERAGE RUNNER (NOT TALKING ABOUT ABOVE AVERAGE, ELITES OR PROS): I PRETTY STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO A LOT AND IMPROVE YOUR SPEED A LOT WITH JUST 40-MI A WEEK.

I THINK IT NAILED THE PRIMARY THINGS I WANT IN A CONFIGURATION LANGUAGE; TYPES, CONSTRAINTS, TEMPLATING AND PREVENTING OVERRIDES. I THINK THEY'VE NAILED THE OBJECTIVES, THEY JUST NEED TO CONTINUE --- BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE DEFINED THIS AS A CLEAR FOCUS --- IMPROVE THE EXECUTION A BIT.

THIS POST COULD ALTERNATIVELY BE TITLED "HOW I LEARN SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW WITH ONLY MINIMAL AWARENESS OF THE ADJACENT TOOLING, BUT REALLY (WELL KINDA) WANT TO DO A THING; AN UNEDITED PROCESS OF LEARNING AND THOUGHTS"
