I like that 3.1 being Yak shaving.

Getting so deep into the fun of implementing, that you're playing and challenging yourself with more and more deeper aspects to what you're doing. Losing the forest for the trees and forgetting that you're here trying to eventually solve for 1&5

You can link directly to a song. When a song is playing, down the bottom, click the link icon.

Moving towards decentralised internet infrastructure such as https://ipfs.io could help with this. ISPs setting up IPFS caches for their customers could save a LOT of peering bandwidth.

It can also me installed and run on the new "Ubuntu bash for Windows 10" from Microsoft, which uses the new "Windows subsystem for Linux"

For anyone that is interested in picking up a language really quickly, I can highly recommend Fluenz http://fluenz.com/ I tried the Pimsleur audio lessons, but I am a visual learner.
