Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at urchinsail extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at urchinsail added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
