I was about to link the "discovery fiction" article [0] by Michael Nielsen, but halfway through saw Grant mention it as an inspiration. It's one of my favorite styles of writing that lets you settle into a cozy read of a narrative around a problem while slowly exposing you to the rigor and nuances of tackling it. It's definitely deserving of a public index of some sort, like one of those "Awesome X" list repositories on GitHub, because I think it's a valuable style that deserves to be curated.
