Damn, I just posted What's making me happy 2016-09-20 and totally forgot to add in a fantastic post by @jongold.
I totally missed it when he first posted it, but I read "Taking The Robots To Design School, Part 1" recently and it's absolutely fantastic and fascinating. It's a great look at Typography, how you break down a problem, and how to never stop learning.
So thanks @jongold for the fantastic piece.
