For those of you who are new: *Welcome!* We have three new posts for you. They aren’t entirely representative of what we usually publish, but our posts rarely are.

1. [**The Grug Brained Writer**](https://www.autodidacts.io/grug/)**:** a lunatic essay that attempts to compress a lifetime of learnings about writing into baby-speak.
2. [**Reclaim your focus with \~12 lines of bash**](https://www.autodidacts.io/coldturkey-selfcontrol-freedom-leechblock-alternative-in-bash/): self control for Linux nerds.
3. [**Knowledge & The Coastline Paradox**](https://www.autodidacts.io/mercator/): a perhaps-obvious three-sentence insight that emerged during an argument, and made the whole thing worth it. “*A Mercator map is a total lie.*[*\[1\]*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator%5Fprojection?ref=autodidacts.io#/media/File:Worlds%5Fanimate.gif) *But it can still save people from the rocks. And sometimes it’s better than a globe — because it folds and fits in your pocket.”*

Stay curious & kind,

The Autodidacts
