Sort of related, but my epileptic dog has most of his seizures right as he's waking up. Perhaps he's suddenly losing his "protection" as his short waves are disabling.
I love Pillars of Earth too, and he has turned it into a series (the Kingbridge series) with the fifth book expected this year. I've read each book and overall enjoyed each, particular his detailed research attempting to accurately depict everyday life for each historical era, however it does feel like the same plot with new characters 200 years later with each release.
I have used airflow with two different organizations over the past couple years. When we had a complex orchestration with critical pipelines and enough human-power to manage the system, it was great. Trying to deploy it for a small team with no critical pipelines has been overkill and we recently migrated to dagster which is still in beta but accomplishes 90% of what airflow does with a much smaller footprint.
