Software is "nice" because I can flex muscles and achieve things independent of "work." Many endevours require groups of humans to do; it is tablestakes.

Writing is the same, and hence why I like it so much.

Can someone provide the important cliff notes?

I wouldn't overthink it. Opening windows frequently is a good thing. Doing it during winter is even better. Oh and use crbon/hepa air filtering in bedrooms while sleeping.

Everything in moderation. Those who are conscientious achieve longevity but trade off with less than ideal experiences of anxiety.

Well, don't use ellipses in the title then.

But a roof is the "main cost event" to maintain a single family home in a decade timescale. With decades/century timescales and the flux increase appreciating nature of housing, these type of costs are pulverized to the ground. $27/month really became at least half that on inflation alone (seeing the past thirty year on the dollar), coupled by increases equity of the house, renos done on borrow, and over its course of time it becomes cents or disappears into an upside.

I think it will be more interesting with "basic structure integrity" at the century scales. Do we really know economic impacts when tract housing/wood structures are tested well? I'm thinking past time scale of the electric and plumbing overhauls at the 50-100 year marks. There is a ton of housing out there that is less than a century old.

Did the publisher Manning get book cover inspiration from "INTERACTIVE MAGIC?"

Well written. Well said. What a timeless post.

Sharing on own reading habits: https://link.medium.com/4a2hr1VE6hb

I liked the part of reading everyday - even just a page or two. I found through my own experience to be rewarding in time.

Another one I've learned is being open and immediately committed to reading suggestions for others, it's personally opened my perspective(s)

Nice. Here is my attempt following a few years partnering as an eng manager:

"only now 30 years later are we starting to see virtual reality"

As Tom Hall said (paraphrase) "No one wants to strap shit to their face". I'd bet it's still very much a novelty in 30 years.

Some years into habitual writing, this is all I've got:

It guess what I learned is that each piece is about a "concept." Say it clearly. And enjoy it years later by reading it again. And finally publish something, no matter how small once monthly.

I've failed at writing. In its cathartic process I sketched.

I haven't much experience with pmms. What are they like?
