They didn't think of it "themselves," but they did choose to do it.
Thanks! Are you able to figure it out? Feel free to message me if you're willing to chat about it. Would love to know if it's actually useful for you. joshua@huttj.com
You know, I think we’ve reached the point in the divide where it would be more instructive for me to see more examples of how you work, or vice-versa than it would to continue like this. I get the sense that we are…
> this phenomenon occurs because of a lack of tool intelligence in handling tools. What those comments show is that more content is needed on how to survive among numerous tools and how to easily filter tools. That's…
Very cool! I built a version of this [1], but balked at trying to sell it. This is the third iteration of this idea I've seen so far. Your reply popup is a smart feature and a nice touch! Love it. I love the privacy…
Totally agree. I remember the phrase “learning how to think” being thrown around. I also remember not being explicitly taught that. It sort of seems like trying to find enlightenment by chopping wood and carrying water…
Anyone who says “it’s easy” might be having an easy go of it, or they might lack the self-awareness to realize the amount of energy and cortisol they are burning through when they accomplish the task. “Easy” things…
Also, memorizing mental modals has a sort of path dependence to it. Once you have one in your brain, it’s hard to replace, even if it sucks.
You expressed this this much more concisely that I did.
I really enjoyed how the post was laid out —- the structure caught and kept my attention and made the arguments easy to follow. Unfortunately, I’m not convinced. The author makes a good case for experimentation, but not…
It's like...if "less is more," then "more is less." Reminds me of a floating point number. The bigger or smaller they get, the less accurate they become. If you're chunking on a ton of data and tasks, you're getting…
My thoughts on this are to slow down and document and explore that knowledge and information. If it is really valuable, the "loss" in efficiency from slowing down will be offset by the gain in skill/utility from really…
I can see your point, but I think it's worthwhile to understand the full context, even if it's irrelevant on the surface. I wasn't familiar with von Braun before reading this thread, and I appreciate the extra info.…
That's one way to do it!
Most problems are hard to "solve" because we entertain the delusion of solutions that don't exist — solutions which tie everything together with a nice bow and require no discomfort or negative emotions of any kind.…
True, the apps are all basically converging.
Some great lessons in here. Particularly liked the one about ambiguities hiding conflict. That’s true in groups and for individuals, in my experience. When we say “I don’t know,” we usually mean “I haven’t resolved how…
Some things seem inevitable. I've really run myself through the wringer trying to figure out "what could I have done to achieve a better outcome for everyone involved." I guess success and failure are both group efforts.
Life seems to be a crapshoot for most people. Most people seem to be born into families not adequately equipped to raise children, and the ones that succeed and survive seem to do so despite what they missed out on,…
You may be an outlier. Many in their 30s are married, mortgaged, and otherwise unable to risk rocking the boat.
How could you, in such a case?
I would love to do the math on this. The average Janitor I salary in the United States is $34,623 as of February 26, 2024. Average home price in the United States: $417,700. Monthly payment for 30-year mortgage is…
There are very different definitions of "rich." Take the old comparison between Gates and Jordan. "If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 450 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today." You can…
Good question. I expect that we're moving into a phase of AIs talking to AIs, and initially it'll be wasteful (because it'll be mostly English), but eventually, they'll derive their own language and seamlessly upgrade…
Just because the process today is "good enough" doesn't mean that it's a worthwhile use of developer time to create that process. But, you're highlighting one of the challenges of changing the status quo. The "new…
