Why have multiple files at all… just have one file, and make navigating the code a feature of the IDE

It gets easier with practice… just remember your knees should be bending on the way up (taking weight off the board to maintain momentum) and straightening on the way down (pushing down on the board to increase momentum faster) once it clicks, & you relax, the ramp starts helping you build speed

(slightly over your stated budget though, hence suggesting something like the sculpt, which at least reduces the ulnar deviation compared with a flat board)

Mechanical doesn’t always correlate to noisy - good quality linear mechanical keys like cherry silent reds are extremely quiet

But beware of paying attention to ergonomics, it’s a slippery slope towards spending significantly more money just to feel physically comfortable while you work

The Microsoft sculpt is quiet, has a pretty good feel for non-mechanical at a (if you shop around) reasonable price, and is better for your wrists than a plank shaped board

It’s almost impossible to go over the nose. More likely is the board going out forwards from under you as you slide down on your hip with a bruise.
Start by crouching with the tail on the coping & try to grab the nose with your forward hand, that will get your weight forward enough to stay on

It’s actually easier to learn on quarter/half pipes… forces you to commit to the forward weight distribution, and if you fall you slide, on a shallow ramp the falls have more impact

Are these most people in the room with you right now? In my experience what people seem to prefer is that other people react in predictable ways (and ideally to their benefit)… but describe what they want completely differently to that

Easiest was is to use a for_each in the resource definition, and provide the user data or the name of a file to read it from in the list you’re feeding the for_each

Articles on parental censorship are likely to be polarised opinion pieces… it’s way more nuanced in reality - I do rate “I’m ok, you’re ok” and trying to preemptively avoid reinforcing the patterns it describes seems more efficient than fixing them later

He does already have his own tablet, and watches what I think is an excessive amount of YouTube, but he ‘s also learned a lot from it, so I’m tempering my desire to ‘rescue’ him from something that isn’t noticeable harming him

Blanket prohibition of anything increases desire for that thing, which is counterproductive - and it communicates a “you’re not ok” message (for wanting something bad, or somehow not being ‘enough’ to be allowed the thing you want)

I went for permissiveness with open dialog… my personal view is that kids are small humans with less life experience than adults, and a greater ability to learn, adapt and reflect

1 Yes, 2 arguably yes although it takes some stretching & the same arguments would rule out a lot of works by much nicer people too, 3 probably not… what’s your stance on parental censorship, the implicit messages embedded in it, and the likely effects of those messages?

When you’re thinking about time you’ve already transposed into space in order to process, since we have structures in our brains for spacial awareness, and since space is physical you move an object (a block of time?)
