Wow, this is it. This is what I decided to do, too. Just roll with the punches [0]. Be grateful for the extra time. But be smart about it. Don't overextend your stay in wonderland.
I had severe sleep problems since school. I still don't know how I survived school. Wasn't insomnia though. I was the one who always arrived too late. At some point, the teachers just gave up and accepted that I will not arrive on time, lol.
But I noticed how my sleep can vary a lot within a few days. I also know how I aced an presentation during school with zero sleep the night before. I just didn't care and felt so alive. I think my audience including the teacher saw that as being authentic (as you mentioned).
I still vividly remember the joke I did when there was a technical problem with the beamer (it shut down during the presentation and didn't start again). I looked out the window and said: "nice weather outside." The joke was that we closed the curtains so you couldn't see what was going on outside.
My teacher even told me afterwards that she gave me a wrong hint on purpose regarding the beamer problem to see how I would react since she was surprised by my performance. She wanted to see how far my authenticity would go and if it would break down on unexpected problems. She was a brilliant teacher. I miss her.
Thanks for this link.
Now I'll remember you for two things.

No, now that I looked it up, I don't think we should change the markup. I simply never took the time to click on the markdown icon 1
Footnotes

My main pain point with footnotes is the numbering though. If I edit my text, I still have to make sure that my footnotes are numbered in the right order. And the markup doesn't help with that, I guess? ↩

I love HN-style footnotes too, but always found it amusing here, since the explicit linking usually back-links to content one inch away that's still visible on the screen.

Mhh, I see. I think we should do that then.
Found another issue though:
The footnotes title renders pretty big as a root comment for some reason
And the reference to the note and the backreference is indeed really nice. I didn't appreciate that enough even though I implemented that myself in my blog.

Should be easy to change. I never liked the heading or the backlink icon.
- replace the title with a horizontal line
- replace superscript with
[1]
link - replace numbered list with
[1]
-like numbering - replace the backlink icon by making the numbering the backlink
I'd be nearly satisfied with just (1) and (4).
