What would you change?

Yes! I can’t see the point of enforcing fussing with indents to get a river.

Mostly data science - been slow lately, but I’m working on a couple pieces again.

Thanks for sharing. I want to hear more from him. Do you have a recommended book by McLuhan to start with?

First time I've seen a good argument for tabs over spaces. Richard Hendricks would be proud

+1 to servicability. It's hard to get someone who knows how to clean my minisplits. This looks really cool, but I'd need to be confident that I could maintain my units myself.

Probably he’s referring to zettelkasten systems.

OP hints at this - but the problem seems to be net metering lumps capacity payments in with the cost of power.

Some markets run a separate capacity market that rewards power generators explicitly for their capacity - independently of whether they actually generate any electricity. (California's market (CAISO) doesn't do this)

A long time ago I was involved in setting capacity market prices if y'all have follow up questions.

Writing is useful even if nobody reads it. Writing clarifies and sharpens my thinking. I have ideas I wouldn't otherwise have.

I wrote for the void for a long time. At the time, some folks on my immediate team found it useful. Now, a few years later, I'm still referencing those posts.

The important hard work was actually writing and polishing the idea until it was good enough to publish.

Thanks for the note and I'm glad the piece was useful!

Thanks for the note! Doing opportunity sizing early in the product life-cycle definitely helps with this type of situation. Though, I've found it only really helps when it's a forward looking analysis or (rarely) when part of a no-blame retrospective.
