Pyramid Principle summary of a church sermon on biblical parenting correction (Proverbs, Hebrews, Corinthians, Ezekiel, Romans)

Summary

Loving correction of children is biblically commanded, distinguishes instructive pain from damaging abuse, and finds its resolution in the gospel — where Jesus removes the shame that sin produces.

Situation: Every parent must correct their children, but fears doing harm in the process.
Complication: Fear of damage leads many to withhold necessary discipline, despite Scripture's clear commands.
Question: How should Christian parents correct their children biblically?
Answer: Use measured consequences that teach right from wrong, never out of anger, always pointing to Jesus who removes shame and offers forgiveness.

1. Correction is commanded and loving, not optional

Why the pyramid-principle skill is worth using

Use the pyramid-principle skill whenever you write executive-facing prose; it pays for itself there and nowhere else.

Situation. You write memos, docs, PR descriptions, reports - things a busy reader must grasp fast.

Complication. LLMs (and most writers) default to context-first: setup, reasoning, conclusion buried last. Reader hits paragraph 4 before the point. "Be concise" and "be MECE" don't fix it - vague advice doesn't change model behavior.

Question. Is a structured skill worth the overhead over just writing?

Answer. Yes for executive writing, no for casual chat or code - three reasons below.

Summer activities & reward punch cards for toddlers and 5-year-olds

Summer Activities & Reward Punch Cards for Young Kids

A collection of fun, low-prep summer activities for families with toddlers (2–3) and a 5-year-old, plus a reward punch card system.

💦 Water Play (Minimal Setup)

Sprinkler + Free Play

Just run a sprinkler in the yard. Give them cups, funnels, and plastic toys. The 5yo can practice "aiming" or creating "waterfalls" while toddlers just splash. Zero effort, hours of fun.

clj-surgeon: field extraction DSL design (followup to issue #6)

Field Extraction DSL for .clj-surgeon.edn

Status: design doc, pre-implementation Scope: extends the existing .clj-surgeon.edn config (string → kind keyword) to let projects describe how to extract structured fields (name, arglist, endpoint route, EE namespace, etc.) from custom defining-form macros.

Problem

The current .clj-surgeon.edn config maps a macro name to a kind:
