I like header comments too, but I almost never use them when working on a team.

I feel like there are a bunch of coding habits that work well for solo developers but not devs on a team.

Having a billing limit is important to me as I don't want to risk unbounded costs for personal projects.

This sounds great! I've looked at Fly.io before but didn't realise this was a thing so didn't go past looking. I'll definitely give Fly.io a test run now. :)

Reservoir Cats is actually a movie! I feel like I've slipped into an alternative time stream.

The Great Barrier Reef will continue to deteriorate until the problems of global warming and ocean acidification are resolved.

But these aren't the only problems the ocean is facing. Resolving other issues will help maintain the health of ocean ecosystems.

It's likely wishful thinking but possibly it will be harder to justify new coal mines etc if enough of these individual agreements are accepted. :shrug:

Are you using types in your JS Doc comments? If so, that's not vanilla JavaScript.

It's possible to actively support positive change at the same time as having little hope our collective actions will avert catastrophic climate change.

Thanks for the summary.

> These are the good days.

Yep. I'm beginning to feel this is true. 2020 has been a crap year in many ways. But I expect 2020 will be one of the better years compared to what is coming.

> it creates some other kind of mental load:

I find it's actually the opposite. Writing things down means I can forget about whatever it is and focus on the task at hand.

> it's not as important as it seemed yesterday

This is a good thing in some situations. I generally write down ideas whenever they appear. Coming back to the ideas in days/weeks/months helps to provide some perspective. If it still looks like a good idea, it can be acted on.

Bad ideas can be discard or ignored.

It's a better outcome than spending a day getting side tracked only to wake up the next day to realise the idea was rubbish.

It doesn't hurt to have a backlog of things for those slow, inspiration free days either.

It does have a Zettelkasten mode but it's not enabled by default. Out of the box Obsidian is more like a wiki with markdown syntax.
