I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow (Saturday, 9/11 at 4pm) at the ACX meetup!
We have $250 of UberEats credit for the event thanks to a donation from a community funding organization, so we'll order food at some point.
Location: Magic island, on the grass under a tree by this drop pin: https://goo.gl/maps/PJ7dJjgZusNsjVd7A. I'll have a big "ACX" sign, so look around for that. We'll be sitting on the grass, feel free to bring a blanket or chair if that's more comfortable for you.
See y'all soon!

This is great, I will probably steal it for my apartment, except with empiricism as a scale instead of an eye.
I was worried that a scale would be too ambiguous. You could for example also imagine a scale for evenness, and a scale for precision.
Good work on the guide! Are you planning on combining this with the readme or linking to it from there? There's a bit of redundancy between the two.
Why are you using your median timeline | success? Maybe I missed it, but I don't see your reason explained in the post.
