Amazon's CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels, recently shared this short post about how software development improves with age. His perspective revolves around the recurrence of certain patterns in technology where the experienced developer can say "New technology, same pattern.", and sift through the daily onslaught of new technologies in a calm fashion, weeding out what's just flash from more interesting developments.

Geometric Mechanics of Thin Periodic Surfaces
Thin surfaces are ubiquitous in nature, from leaves to cell membranes, and in technology, from paper to corrugated containers. Structural thinness imbues them with flexibility, the ability to easily bend under light loads, even as their much higher stretching stiffness can bear substantial stresses. When surfaces have periodic patterns of either smooth hills and valleys or sharp origami-like creases this can substantially modify their mechanical response. We show that for any such surface, ther…
