The "How it was made" section of the README was not less interesting than the tool itself:

> The way we have set things up is that we live and practice together on a bit over a hundred acres of land. In the mornings and evenings we chant and meditate together, and for about one week out of every month we run and participate in a meditation retreat. The rest of the time we work together on everything from caring for the land, maintaining the buildings, cooking, cleaning, planning, fundraising, and for the past few years developing software together.

Reminds me of a quote from "Soul of a new machine":

> During one period, when the microcode and logic were glitching at the nanosecond level, one of the overworked engineers departed the company, leaving behind a note on his terminal as his letter of resignation: "I am going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."

Great quote, although the nitpicky part of my brain immediately thought "They must have days though?"

The day washes over you, but this person only needs to "deal with" the harvest.

In The Inner Citadel, in the section of living in the present, the author says there is a "thin" moment separating past and future and a thick moment by meaningfulness. If a thin/technical moment is 1/44.1kHz, a thick moment is a note of music. A current answer to the meaning of life. This person is not about the day to day tensions.
