Nicely written.

Love the analogy to your childhood home and current home.

Vibe I got was that one wasn't better than the other necessarily.

That both were/are "just right" for the time you lived/live there.

This got me thinking about the unattended broken things in my house ; the lack of art ; the optimization for form that has only me in mind.

Explains why I rarely invite friends over despite having many of them

Maybe this current physical state affects my decisions in designing digital products

Made me think of how offices and homes of product development people affect their design decisions

Perhaps this is another driver to keep in mind for why and how offices should be redesigned at each maturity milestone of a product (e.g. pre-market fit, post-market fir, IPO etc.)

With COVID it's now actually up to the individual and not leadership as office = home.

I've always thought of myself as someone who likes tall ceilings. I love the feeling of the extra space as if it's extra room to breathe. But I've repeatedly found myself living in places where I can touch the ceiling and it works out just fine. This makes more sense now from the perspective of "form follows function".

Lol about "the vortex".
