A notebook is how you compensate for hitting the limit of working memory, and everyone can easily hit their limit. This is especially the case in software, where it is trivial to write code thats inter-leavings cause working memory overflow. That’s why good abstractions are so crucial; the human brain has a teeny tiny stack.

That’s not what this is about though, it’d still be nice if possible, to increase the stack size. The following is a link to “Simple Made Easy”, by Rich Hickey; which is the best talk I’ve ever seen on complexity in software and how to manage it. https://youtu.be/SxdOUGdseq4?feature=shared
