They say you get a feel for it over time, but they all have different feels for it. I'm in hubristic territory, but given that there's hours between action and feedback, a million other factors at play, and everyone disagrees. It seems more like an arbitrary preference than a learned sweetspot

And no one even agrees on what the right amount of puffy is! They all says it's super important, and getting it 'wrong' is apparent in the final bread. But they all do it different from each other!

This was a much more powerful image when I misread it as "can't bear the real thing"

I can testify that even studying German as a second language obliterated my sense of proper and improper nouns in English. Cognitohazard language

Half remembered example: In Javascript, objects are defined using a "prototype" object. In forum answers, educational blogs, and even in official documentation, people use the word "prototype" to refer to at least 3 separate, but related, things. Often even within the same paragraph! It's bonkers!

The reason you can sometimes say "the crown" instead of "the king" is that most people already know what crowns and kings are. If you are teaching someone what "blork" "spalp" and "blorkicity" mean, they will take you at your word if you use them as apparent synonyms, and they will be very confused!

It's the song you get if a director gives their over worked assistant 15 minutes to write a song that "plausibly could have been popular for a bit a few decades again".

Who is the "us" in "our side"? It includes you, but not any people who are trans, and not anyone who believes in inalienable human rights. That's my side, and Newsom would be a loss for us. We're not going to welcome you stabbing us just because Trump wants to shoot us.
