A kind of love what this author has been doing for the past several months: taking personal deep dives into systems technology and then just enthusiastically writing up what they learned. I wish more people would write this way. I know I have a hard time doing it; I want to know that anything I write is novel, which is a crippling and stupid limitation I put on myself.

The reality is that one great way to get to novel value is to apply your own take on something that people have done before; you may find a way to teachably express a concept better than others have before you.
