I finally understand why Open Source people care about github from a neighborhood park

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

The detail that surprised me was how much my desk changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. This pairs weirdly well with arepas. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. It sounds small, but the prototype matters.
