 I'm a pretty poor philosopher, but it's ok, I'm also a pretty poor developer so it all evens out 
 logic checks out 
 You're pretty good man. I used coracle yesterday.  You're doing fascinating work. 
 Haha I think I'm a better philosopher than developer but philosophy doesn't put food on the table. 
 From your work on Coracle and from your podcast, you seem rather good at both. You're humble. 
 Used to think that of myself too.

Now I just don't resort to limiting beliefs because I learned that I fundamentally don't know what I'm capable of.

Wittyness just further obfuscated this situation and helped creating low bars for myself.

Coracle is great and I was inspired by your client, your code and your personality in podcast episodes.

I also went on a little rabbit hole in functional programming because I watched your presentation from nostrasia at least 3 times, it was so good.

Keep at it man, you're good ;) 
 That's great to hear, I loved that presentation but figure it was probably pretty arcane for most people. The above note is just my way of saying I'm way in over my head. And I wouldn't have it any other way 😂 
 I like the stubborn spirit.
It gets shit done.
