Ah, when we lose focus for a second and then we don't even known what our code was supposed to do

This is why I write down the questions I'm trying to answer in a text doc, e.g:

Where is this network call comming from? ../some-api-call.js Why do you think it's causing a 403?

  • I am authenticating correctly
  • the object seems to exist in s3
  • the bucket name is wrong

Etc. So if I lose my thought (all the time), I know exactly what and why I was doing it. Also stops you from re-investigating things you forget

Why do people road rage?

I think a big part of it is that driving is inherently dangerous (you're in a metal box going much faster than you're capabale of going yourself, your health and finances are at stake) and frustrating (waiting in traffic, people making mistakes).

All those things put people on edge and cause them to act out

What’s the difference between natural and man made?

I have two trains of thought on this. The first is naturally occuring vs man made. Stones are naturally occuring, bricks are not. While we as a species have always made shelter, there is something "unnatural" about modern homes with glass windows, running water, steel beams etc.

The second is natural vs synthetic. GMO'd food, hydrocarbons etc. I think the biggest difference to me regarding this is around how long we've been exposed to the substances. We've been exposed to certain foods and chemicals (from plants etc) for 100,000s of years and so our bodies handle them well. Our bodies haven't adapted to things like polymers, microplastics or high fructose corn syrup, which is why these "unnatural" chemicals are considered bad.

If you were a community, municipality or country committing to the principle that all people deserve shelter, how would you make that principle a reality?

I would start with immediate solutions - setting designated areas for camping and providing tents + basic amenities. I'd look into what the most effective policies that exist around the world are and why they work and select the one most applicable to our situation. Finally I'd try and solve the core issue(s) regarding why the majority of those individuals couldn't provide housing for themselves

What was your most difficult breakup?

My second and most recent one was tough. She was a good girl and incredibly mature for her age (we were 22 when we broke up), and truthfully I wasn't ready for that kind of a relationship and still had some exploring to do.

We used to catch up once a year or so, but she has a partner now who doesn't like me seeing her and while I'm sad about it, I respect it and promised not to reach out until she does. I'm over her and not holding my breath, but if she ever does I'd definitely consider giving it another shot. Turns out that girls like that are few and far between.
