This is a lovely piece Nikhil! I think about effort a lot and have spent my fair share of agonizing over why the flow doesn’t come easier. But perhaps that is the whole point to why it feels so good once you get there! If I go even more invention-of-flame-meta-ness, I think about how much of what we have today ~is~ because someone cared (for better or worse lol).
