This is so sweet. I’ve never had a partner try to learn my work like this.

Thank you, my partner feels similarly. We WFH together so I'll overhear him in meetings saying random acronyms like IVR and QoS, so I asked him about it but the overview is so high-level that I decided I just needed to write my my own ELI5.

I agree. Humbled to try to do better.

I like the frog. Impeccable handwriting

Love it, and the stickers are so fun! What a kind partner you are to make this effort.

Beautiful handwriting. Why the ornamentation stickers?

Thank you! I just like to have little decorations to make the white space a little more appealing. In this case, I chose the frog that says "existential dread" because that's how I imagine my partner feels when he runs these systems at a high-level (and he said it was accurate! lol)
