> If you’re trying to do impossible things, this effect should chill you to your bones.

This speaks to me. It's terrifying knowing deep in your soul that something is possible but getting stuck trying to make it happen. When you try to talk to people, you seem a bit unhinged. Like some crazy person who's creating his own problems by avoiding the easy established solutions. People will straight up tell you it can't be done, they will ask you why you can't do it in the normal way. It's tempting to take their word for it and just give up. However, if you persevere a little and ask the right questions, they might just see that it is possible to do things differently. If you persevere a lot, you might figure out all the details and end up proving that it was possible after all.
I achieved a small victory just like this a few days ago and I'm really proud of it, I'm actually preparing to Show HN.
