For some time I’ve been meaning to collect my "big links" in one place. It’s been difficult to complete this small-seeming task in large part because of three major questions: 1. Do I need to self-host these readings to keep them available over time? 2. Do I need to provide commentary? 3. What even are my big links anyway...?
For now I’m taking the low-effort path across the board ("not for now" "not necessarily" "uhh here are a couple") but will return periodically to iterate/add.
Suffice to say that these are all important links I’ve returned to repeatedly over time.
