I like this, I built something far less accurate...

For me, Tailwind takes away a third of the two hardest things in computer science: naming things.

Extremely useful when building out a design system for the first time.

Hoop Dreams (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoop_Dreams) - 1994.

This is a long basketball documentary following two youngsters from the housing projects of Chicago. I was lucky enough to visit Chicago for a week with work just a couple of months after seeing this; it led me to learning so much more about the struggles of people living in the housing projects of Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor Homes etc. Whether you're a fan of basketball or not, this is an eye opener into much wider issues.

This; when my Father was diagnosed with cancer I was under a lot of stress but acting like everything was fine. Pretty soon I got alopecia, in my beard not my head. The body communicates with you in very different ways and it can be overlooked. Finding the root cause of pain in your life is the key. Not always, but often.

This reminds me of an awesome site my friend Ben Howdle built called moviesascode. Users would contribute tiny code snippets that summarised a whole movie. As an example:

.titanic{ float:none; }

Unfortunately he lost the site when he switched hosts, I've been badgering him for years to restart it.

No. Cars today are so much faster and more powerful than they were only 20 years ago. Here in the UK the speed limit on motorways is 70mph. I learned to drive in 2000 in a Rover Montego that would cruise fairly well at that speed, but later my family purchased the very popular VW Golf Mk4 TDi and all of a sudden we could cruise at 100mph and barely notice it, the level of comfort and noise insulation was that good. This is a car from 2002. But we are not better drivers than people from 20 years ago; yet we all drive around in these vastly overpowered machines. Brakes are better, tyres are better, sure, but that can bring with it false confidence. Our reaction times are exactly the same - if not worse thanks to all the modern distractions of technology - yet there are vastly more vehicles on the road for us to deal with. I drive to the speed limit everywhere I go, and I constantly have a queue of cars behind me. If you're in a rush, get up 5 minutes earlier. Plan better. If you like to drive fast, spend 30 minutes at a local go-kart track.

Cars are like bullets in our hands and should be handled with the utmost of care.
