I got a warm "She is so smart! She thinks and feels exactly like I do!" moment when reading this post. The only diff is that in past years I have mostly stopped reading.

Overall I agree with this comment. A determinist would take this position even further and argue that there is nothing left that we could be in control of - it is causes and effects and maybe some randomness all the way down. Even those things we think are our free choices.

Europa Clipper mission was launched Oct. 14, 2024 and arrives to Jupiter in April 2030. Jupyter Icy Moon Explorer (juice) was launched Apr. 14, 2023 and arrives to Jupyter in July 2031. I admire people behind these space missions - lots of work for a reward that one must wait for so many years.

For me the comparison to monorepo made a lot sense. One of the main features of monorepo is maintaining a DAG of dependencies and use that to decide which tests to run given a code change. CRAN package publishing seems to follow same idea.
