The most surprising thing I've learnt about others is how much people love and appreciate uniqueness. When I first started making the rap videos I was a bit worried that people would think it was weird. But reflecting on why being different is good, I think we're all a bit jaded by the tsunami of sameness (e.g. Tiktok trends done again and again by hundreds of people). As sats become more prolific in these platforms (and as more people use Stacker News!) we'll be able to navigate our way through the noise and be able find and encourage more uniqueness in everyone!

The most surprising thing I've learnt about myself is how much I enjoy the process. I'm usually very outcome-oriented, but the pure joy of being in the flow of the process is nothing like I've experienced in any type of work I've done ^_^
