As someone awaiting some potentially devastating test results, this really resonates.

You think you're handling everything life throws at you, until suddenly you're not.

It's amazing watching a child develop their basic understanding of the world. So much that we consider obvious and mundane can be full of wonder and excitement.

Part of my job is studying systems, and often, how they can fail is more important than how they work.

On balance, I think I prefer NOT being inside the system while it's working through failure modes.
