Thank you to Ray, Carrie, Sophia, and Amy for hyping me up, providing emotional support which kept me motivated to make this website better.

These include but are not limited to: Nicky Case's project Trust, Madhav Malhotra's 2021 reflection, and Jez Swanson's awesome visual explainer of Fourier transforms.
