#18 — Dream Car
“But I understand the appeal. The car as freedom. The car as potential. The car as the American Dream. A box of limitless possibility parked right in the driveway. For many, a car is a self-portrait in motion, a symbol of who they are—or who they want to be.”
“A good photograph of a classic car shouldn’t focus on the car alone. It should illuminate the world around it, the time and place it inhabits. A dream car by itself is inert. It must be in dialogue with its surroundings, in a conspiracy with its space.”

“You’ll see yourself in new ways.”
“So you can say a person is not just about how they look or what they do, but what sounds through them–their soul, their energy, and the stories they inhabit as they move through the world.“
Content debt
“Buttondown’s most pernicious form of content debt is the more conventional kind: docs have screenshots that are out of date, blog posts reference features that have been moved or renamed, comparison pages are anchored on old pricing, et cetera. It all boils down to some variation on vestigiality: you publish a thing that doesn’t have a direct line of communication to the source of truth (whether that source of truth is “a YAML file containing pricing plan information” or “the live production-level codebase” or whatever.) A lot of my strategic work the past month, and in the month to come, is focused on widening those lines.”

A Coder Considers the Waning Days of the Craft
“Maybe the next cohort will spend their late nights in the guts of the A.I.s their parents once regarded as black boxes. I shouldn’t worry that the era of coding is winding down. Hacking is forever. ♦”
Seeing people clearly
“When you see people clearly, you see the transcript of their conversation with reality up until that moment of your meeting, and you glimpse the horizon that stretches out ahead of them. And then sometimes you can help them overhear themselves and overhear what the world wants from them, whether or not that includes working in the role that you had initially imagined for them.”
