I've been thinking a lot about code as communication as I've worked with a small team on upgrading a very challenging codebase.
I, like most people, used to think of programming as telling the computer what to do. If it works, great! Ship it!
The "It works!" mentality will get you pretty far in your career. Telling computers what to do is hard, and in demand.
But if you stick around in one place long enough to have to live with "working" code, it stops working so well. You have to make changes. Sometimes you forget what you were thinking when you wrote that function. Some days you're simply not as clever as others.
An old aphorism among engineers goes something like this: "Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live." To which some anonymous wit on the venerable c2 wiki once replied, "I usually maintain my own code, so the as-if is true."
The insight of Domain-Driven Design is that a domain model is a special-case extension of a technical language. Conversation *about* a model is a working prototype *of* that model.
Code implementing a model is a message to the future about that model.
Enlightened engineers write code to instruct future maintainers in stewarding the model, and only incidentally to tell a computer what to do.

s/authority/lawful authority/g
Each authority has a lawful scope, and outside of that scope he acts merely as a private citizen. For instance, in WA state during COVID, our dear governor issued orders regarding how communion should be administered, and proscribing singing in church. We cheerfully ignored him, because he wasn't our bishop.
It gets tricky when a bad leader acts within his lawful authority, though, and we have to be especially careful when leaders we merely don't like make authoritative decisions we don't like. Then it's a good opportunity to pray for wisdom and discernment.
It's especially difficult when God, in his all-encompassing authority, sends us trials and tribulations, because then we're bound by Scripture to rejoice! This includes when he sets bad leaders over us. 😬

Starting Strength has a lot of good resources on how to do the basic lifts, progression for novices, etc.

The Starting Strength book is really good if you like to get into the science-y stuff on why it works and why barbell is better than machines and cardio.
You definitely want to learn the proper forms from a friend or a personal trainer, though. Proper form will make all the difference when you start advancing to higher weights.

"Crowdwall" is a great name. This would be a great model for episodic content, too, say a serialized novel. "Next episode unlocks when this episode hits 10k sats" or something like that. For the enterprising nostrnaut, it doesn't need any technology or automation—it can be entirely manual to start with.

I'm starting to think seriously about building a misting bed so I can do propagation by softwood cuttings this summer. Found a great resource for building such a system: https://www.7thgenerationdesign.com/diy-build-your-own-automated-misting-bed/
I'll try to document my experiences as I go. This should be fun.
