What’s an example of a “crucial detail” from your line of work that outsiders might notice but wouldn’t consider significant unless an insider pointed out how/why it was crucial?

Web app performance can be impacted by a number of totally independent & unrelated causes. Issues with 1. Your browser permissons 2. Your network connectivity 3. App’s hosting service (AWS) 4. App’s DNS (Cloudflare) 5. A bug in the actual app code Ppl wildly conflate the above
-
Didn’t even mention -issues w your hardware -issues w your OS -too much load on the app degrading performance (diff than a true “bug”)

There was an electric bike monthly rental startup that didn't realize this and had the forks on backwards (with people using them), and they didn't notice until I pointed it out. Very twitchy.

Not so. Almost all bicycles have positive “trail”. You’re right that it’s important for stability though, and it does make your point. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_geometry …

basically everything around you has a fillet or a chamfer for a very specific reason involving what the material is and how it's produced - most commonly plastics are fillets because they are inverse of injection molds, which are carved out with round milling bit radiipic.twitter.com/ts0xenAOTw

on the subject of fillets, airplane windows are round because any sharp corner (in anything, really) is a high stress / weak spot for cracks to start, and anything we can do to design smoother edge transitions for forces makes the part strongerpic.twitter.com/JJPeEmwhAJ

The first example is partly incorrect. The curve in the fork has a twofold effect: the point of contact is *behind* the steering axis, thus forward motion pulls the wheel straight; and the centre of mass is ahead/above, thus leaning pulls the wheel into the curve.
-
Your first fold is completely correct, however the second fold is a more complex relationship between rake and head tube angle which mainly dictates how much counter steer is required to shift the center of mass in the direction of the turn to initiate the lean.

The monuments shown as “found” on a survey map define property more so than the deed dimensions. Explaining this to the client/title officer/lawyer isn’t always the easiest, because 50’ isn’t always 50’ when it’s physically related to the symbols on the map.
