Hey Grindy - thanks for that. It means a lot, especially coming from you.
Your writing is more than just good (it is good though, let's be clear,) but it's also useful in a way that I find extremely meaningful. I was thinking how to sum up your mix of tech, creativity, slow lifestyle writing and the best thing I've come up with so far is "Quietly Important."
These topics aren't these large scope things that a lot of writers cover off with platitudes and lots of evergreen nonsense about living a more meaningful life; your writing is the antithesis to that. Small and actionable things that make slow but long-lasting change in the way one thinks and acts.
Your "can your site fit on a floppy" article made me re-think my entire site design and ultimately made me into a better dev when I pushed myself to lower my site size as radically as possible without losing functionality. So, thank you, Grinds. Your work is quietly important, at least to me.
"Quietly important" has to be nicest genuine thing someone has said about my writing. Really appreciate that coming from you.
