Explain Like I'm Five · by Gentle Baker · 2026-10-09

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where explainers 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.
