Just want to say that I've been loving your posts so far. Well written and I love the perspective of exploring _why_ an API is designed the way it is instead of trying to focus on explaining why <insert library> is the best for <insert language>. There are only a handful of blogs I've read over my career that I feel like focus on solving real application development problems, exploring trade-offs, or digging into why an approach was taken and these posts are of that caliber. Those topics help me in the problems I encounter frequently in my day job and make me a better engineer.

Thank you for the time and effort you're putting into this.
