That piece is an insightful pairing with season 2 of HBO’s “The Rehearsal”.
If this type of thing really interests you and you want to go on a wild ride, check out season 2 of nathan fielders's The Rehearsal. You dont need to watch s1.
Cool visualization for your personal logbook. How is the raw or display data stored?
The globe map reminds me of this hexagonal grid article from my bookmarks I’d found on here or reddit.

As an airline pilot, I am curious, have you watched the season 2 of Nathan Fielder’s Rehearsal on HBO, that comically addresses the topic of pilot-copilot communication?
If so what are your thoughts on his portrayal of the existence of copilot communication friction. And without intending to dig into your personal business, do you think there is a tendency and survivor (retention) bias for the profession to remain high functioning ______, without recognizing a need for help. Or is this portrayal of stunted coworker dialog an edge case that is amplified from his perspective.
Relevant:
Nathan Fielder's show "The Rehearsal" on HBO recently released season 2, the entire season is about airline cockpit dynamics between the first officer and the pilot.
I think my point didn't quite come across... Comedy got way more serious and certainly made that (necessary) leap after a big dive in quality during the 00s (thanks Chuck Lorre!). Writers of other genres learned from the successful HBO and AMC productions that TV shows are more than just a fixed universe with a static cast and a dynamic part, and that each episode could be more than one short story told in this staged universe - that is the main part in the leap that makes old shows feel old now.
Thanks for the recommendations, didn't know about The Rehearsal, Shogun, and Reservation Dogs (you wrote "Resevoir Dogs"?). Our tastes may wary, but I think For All Mankind fell back to some 90s formula after season 2.
exploring this phenomenon is the premise of season two of "the rehearsal"
If you like that movie, then I highly recommend checking out The Rehearsal (2022). Basically a show version of the movie!
