## Journal break

Given how Bret Victor is the main inspiration for this project, it was really really fascinating to spend so much time around him last week. One of the biggest things I took away was that "improving programming" is a difficult goal to shoot for directly. The biggest improvements to programming happened when someone from a different field were shooting towards a bigger, more abstract goal. They also never came from young people. I'm going to have to think through how these new ideas influence this project. Potentially I will put it on pause for a while.

## Interviews tomorrow

I haven't done any interviews this year, but I hope to rectify this with two interviews tomorrow. I'll release one either late this week or early next week, and the other either late next week or early the following week.
