Fyi, from the front page I just hovered this post “The shallow bench” and was immediately spoiled on Project Hail Mary (which I had started listening to, but didn’t get far into). Maybe add some spoiler tag or warning directly after the title?
Yeah “stop reading here if you don’t want to be spoiled.” suggests the entire post is going to be spoilery, it isn’t, or shouldn’t be. Also opening with an unnecessary literary reference instead of a summary or description is an affectation symptomatic of indulgent writer-reader cultures where time is not valued.
Enjoyed this post.

(I added that sentence based on Jonathan Claybrough’s comment, feel free to suggest an alternative one)
