This is the first in a series of posts of my notes on the book A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout.
We bought a house, it was built in the 1920s and the main floor uses hot water radiators as the primary heat source (boiler is a Weil-McLain CG-4). I also have a three zone Mitsubishi mini-split system, with two zones upstairs and one on the main floor. The upstairs also has electric baseboard heat in all rooms.

When I need to focus in a distracting or noisy environment, I use a combination of noise canceling headphones and brownian (brown) noise.
I’ve been an Android user for the last 10 years, and for the last 3-4 years I’ve been using the Dark Sky weather app.

Pocket Casts (my preferred podcast player) says I’ve listened to 1038 hours of audio since 2015.

But it’s the consistency that counts.
I’ll admit that my experience with macOS/OSX only goes back a few years, but I was instantly frustrated with window management. Most folks around me seemed to have a sea of small windows that would pile up over the course of a day, maybe they would use mission control to switch between windows.
