I more or less buy into the author’s analogy. I have two work modes: building things that have to work so I avoid unnecessary complexity and services I don’t have experience with, and, the second mode is where I am experimenting and learning.

BTW, in the opening “”” One of my favorite paintings is “Nighthawks” by Edward Hopper. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to see it in person at the Art Institute of Chicago.””” My wife and I saw the same art piece - that is what hooked me into reading the entire article. I wish I was better at writing introductory ’hooks.’



FWIW I thought the “lede” was far too buried and stopped reading before I got to it… so this style doesn’t work for everyone.
