Tesuji is a skillful move. Haengma is more about the choices of combining moves and their future results.
Tesuji usually creates good haengma

Really? I would think that the statement “Tesuji creates good shape” is far less accurate (though perhaps not totally inaccurate) than “Good shape creates tesuji”, and that, therefore, by analogy of “shape ~=~ haengma”, “Good haengma creates tesuji” would be the more true of the converses (is that the right word?).
Haengma isn’t just shape, it’s also flow or direction of play. It’s a very general term that’s hard to pin down, kind of like aji
Edit: to clarify, I do not mean that haengma is like aji, just that they are both general terms that do not translate simply.

Ah, interesting.
Absolutely. It’s about what perspective you get from the way you put the stones.
Note that tesuji can have a broader sense as something very tactical. See the definition by Shuko in his tesuji dictionary (Nihon Kiin)

If I remember the movie, Derek teaches Sara how to read intuitively and step out of the rigid josekis she’d studied all her life.

go sets designed for the visually impaired.
Black stones have a raised dot in the middle, so they feel different from the white ones.

I thought @_Sofiam 's “1000 correspondence games” was just a figure of speech. Nuh-uh, it’s literal 
Holy Toledeo that’s impressive!

It’s not impressive imho. spicydragon has managed it, Tetraphenylbenzidin has at least come very close and everyone can do it if they want to and are willing to play fast.
Sometimes I wonder what the humanly possible limit is. I reached 1500 but in my opinion I could have doubled that with slow correspondence games. Maybe even 10.000 is possible. It wouldn’t be healthy though.
I am now trying to accumulate games, I guess you all know why

Yes, I know I failed/I am a failure. It’s not easy. I have convinced myself that I have a good reason.
From April I will play less…

imagine: EVERGREEN ship stuck, internet users do memes because it stuck, and then people who trying to free the ship are sending image above to meme creators
Imagine putting months of work into a product and having it compared to the EverGreen.
The baby on the left is thinking “What on earth good do you think that will do?”.
memes exist for humor purposes only, not to what you think
I can see the appeal of the joke.
It’s a shame that it’s at my expense.
It seems for you the equation calcuation was “the value of the humour to me outweighs the insult I will deliver to him”.
Where I’m sitting, having already stated that I was running out of steam for quick fixes on this project, that little joke just made me feel more like playing my guitar than digging into rengo code… that’s why the baby is wondering what the other baby thought it was achieving.
that wasn’t the purpose, no one will think bad of you because that picture
One should never underestimate the potential for unintended offense on the internet 
But seriously: a disasterous ship called EverGreen … what did you think GreenAsJade would make of it?
Very humorous but very badly timed by you, in particular, as the person who has been continually driving for more work on the project at every turn, complaining at each improvement that it’s still not good enough. T
That meme is a complaint about how long it is taking to fix the vacation bug. Of course that pissed me off, what did you expect?
(Once again, the intelligent looking baby is looking at the continually complaining baby wondering what it thinks it will achieve )
It’s not the end of the world, or a mortal offence. It does seem deeply ironic to me though that you came here to complain about my response to your offensive joke.
