Re:Successful people set constraints rather than chasing goals

There is a mathematical parallel here. Boundary conditions are essential for solving PDEs and ensuring that the solution is physically relevant and unique.
The goal here is “solving the PDE” and the constraints ensure the solution accurately models the physical environment of the problem. Without constraints there can be an infinite number of solutions

When determining the median API response time, is that done from several locations? Not clear if the timing would be due to network or application latency.

Taken from the original post which is badly worded. It should read, the last digit of n^5 is always equal to the last digit of n
The last digit of any integer n^5 is n itself

Let's Encrypt allows one to get a SSL cert in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee. Not to mention the SEO benefits, so it seems a bit odd that PG hasn't got a SSL cert for his blog.
