Doing Rails Wrong 10 months ago

Had similar experience with Rust. It's a constant stream of invalidation of your problems "you're holding it wrong".

Thanks for this. It reminded myself I am on this exact place with my current game. I thought it'd would go away with more projects done, but I feel like it's getting worse at every iteration.

Not really true.

You can have a book where in the last chapter you have a phrase "She was not his kid."

Knowing nothing else, you can only infer the self-contained details. But in the book context this could be the phrase which turns everything upside down, and it could refer to a lot of context.

It sounds like the Gumroad story.

On the other hand, despite amazed by their UX thinking, I tried to use Muse and the lack of structured content (tasks, lists, connections) was a deal-breaker.

Even more interesting when you think about the plethora of events that must be happening there in this interval of time at human scale. The Sun alone, 8 light minutes away, in seconds is consuming hydrogen and generating energy at amounts that we as humanity could use for thousands and thousands of years.

No, I was thinking in terms that the pillars are glowing and illuminating themselves, which would be really coincidence to have this luminescence only on areas that would look like a shadow or not.

It turns out that for my original question, there is actually something illuminating it from the top-right. As massive as the pillars are, they are part of a yet bigger structure [0] and the brightness generated is allowing us to see it with better depth. It's really incomprehensible to grasp how large things can get.

Why does it look like there's some really bright object shining from the top-right of the pillars, giving the impression that there's actually a shadow on it?

edit: right, not left.

edit 2: well, there's no impression here. There IS something larger shining it, the rest of the structure the pillars are part of.
