sudden innocuous image of Bob The Builder (video’s talking about the Builder design pattern at that moment) and I’m over here having flashbacks to Amazon ~2004.

If the neurons are connecting correctly, “Bob the Builder” was the internal deployment tool that became or partially inspired AWS a few years later.

#NowPlaying

Instead of the basically impossible-for-me task of Drawing what sunset looks like around here, I made myself draw what it feels like. All side-pencil strokes in Linea Sketch. No realistic details allowed.

Quick pencil stroke of cactus and flowering foliage against a darkening desert backdrop, with orange lights and purple shadows throughout
