Hi Grayson! We’ve missed you! What if it were just a subtly different shade of green? That could potentially be easy to sneak in.
I don’t think I want it to be user-settable. (draft of a mini-screed on that that I intend to turn into a blog post)
If “subtly different green” would be super unsatisfactory, what distinct 5th color might make sense as the “totally safe” color?
Review:
| RED | beemergency, derailing in <24h |
| ORANGE | derailing tomorrow |
| BLUE | 2 days of safety buffer |
| GREEN | 3 or more days of safety buffer (eg, green on Friday means you’re safe till Monday) |
| ??? | 7 or more days of safety buffer means you’re immune to the akrasia horizon! |
(Immunity to the akrasia horizon means that if something comes up you can just immediately flatten your road. It takes a week for the flattening to take effect but by the time you run out of safety buffer you’ll have reached the flat spot.)
