I’ve come to despise the creation of stress when stress is not required.
I realize that this is context dependent. A real pursuit towards zero stress requires extraordinary levels of trust, shared vision and shared sense of quality.

Trees don’t induce stress. They just are. Frankly, they remove stress. For me, at least.
So, I want that.
I’m fortunate enough to be able to meet great designers around my lunch table. And … Well, let me share what happened.
This whole site smells of incompleteness. The dark side of incompleteness is confusion. The bright side is that by living in incompleteness, we can improve. Which is why I’m writing content here. I use the same approach for my Linux system. Can I improve it? I’d rather have incomplete parts than inability to move forward.

I’ve used https://github.com/mikera/imagez for image processing before, that was quite nice. Essentially, I just want to put pixels on a canvas. This could be kinda fun.
