Seven Years of Factorio Friday Facts
Few things are more enjoyable to me than reading about the experiences of a professional. There is just something special about getting a peek behind the veil of any serious endeavor, especially when the author’s passion for the craft and for sharing that passion with others shines through. The field of science has many instances of this: the outreach work of figures like Carl Sagan and legendary talks like Randy Pausch’s last lecture are but a few examples of that elusive connection between science and engineering, and humanity. It is rare to find people that can take a technical subject, distill it into an easily digestible form, and then make the reader feel good in consuming that content. It is truly special to do all that and, at the same time, create a bond with fellow people.
