Essay: Understanding the cloud-for-research time investment

Why is nexus?

nexus was conceived as a response to the tech ‘profusion/latency’ problem: I need to track a bunch of technology with a profusion of details; and I am obliged to spend months focused in one particular area. After long neglect I return to an old topic and find myself re-learning a lot of details. This is onerous and depressing. So to heck with that, nichte diese Töne. nexus documents everything I know to reduce the stress of starting over.
