World Notes · by Mia Anderson · 2026-09-27
OpenStreetMap made me rethink a small assumption from my commute notes
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat
> Tiny progress is still progress.
That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where global stopped feeling new.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. global got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
