is a thing i'm doing this week. i'm amazed by the curiosity i can muster when i'm trying to wrap my head around a new paradigm, even if the end goal is basically arbitrary. of course, curiosity doesn't equal comprehension, so i've wasted the better part of two days trying to understand "secure inter-process communication". this is a vaguely-named concept that might better be described as "building a wall, poking little holes in it, sticking straws through the holes, then exchanging spit with strangers on the other side"
