in the same way, DO took the cloud silo (ie, network, compute, and storage split into API Gateway, Lambda/EC2, and DynamoDB/S3) and turned it on its side; each object has a bit of all three. this is more natural and also drops ton of config (IAM, et al). i think this innovation is under-appreciated.

like, before react became popular, there was a lot of overwrought dogma about separation of concerns; it was gauche not to co-locate your scripts, styles, and markup in separate silos. react turned this on its side, prioritizing co-location by component, which always made more sense to me.

one thing i've always thought but never really expressed in a talk (mostly because i don't really do talks anymore) is how durable objects changed the way i think about the backend in much the same way react changed the way i thought about the frontend.

oh wow, there’s a great sticker idea.

thanks! didn’t feel like much a feat given all the trail runners who breezed past me.

anyway, despite the lingering foot pain and leech bites it was a worthwhile hike. definitely drop a line if you're thinking of tackling it and need any tips.

or even spiritually frothier times. i passed so so many temples, some i'd seen but mostly those i hadn't.

not to mention the state of abandonment in the long yet still wabisabi shadow of economically frothier times.

it was interesting to see the various states of (dis)repair in the forests around the city as a result of dieback and disease due to abandoned forestry development, post-war conifer monoculture, and climate change.

it was nice to have the city always at my left, close enough if i needed it, but far enough to mostly avoid the crowds of summer tourists. here's kyoto from the east, north, and west.

WristTopo in particular is probably the most killer app i've ever used on my watch. so amazing to just raise your wrist to see your trail map centered on your location and oriented to your direction. it saved me from getting derailed in areas where the trail was poorly marked.

to get the routes, i downloaded this gpx[1], simplified/split it with GPSBabel and GPX Editor, loaded it on my phone with GPX Viewer 2[2], and then finally onto my watch with WristTopo[3].

i chose these routes to optimize for one trip without backtracking, spending the first night at home and the second night relaxing at the kurama spa. kurama-spa.com
