I agree with you, but just for kicks I'd like to go through your examples. First, blogging is alive and well in the outdoor sports space. "Trip reports" serve as incredibly helpful tools for research. In climbing,…
Imagine being a non-tech savvy user or someone who understands the world more literally than figuratively. That sort of message could be pretty confusing for them.
To add to this, the app downloads a significant chunk of data because of its inefficiencies. Not ideal for tight budget data plans.
Attempting this to be more of a discussion prompt than speculation, but as an advertiser or other consumer analytics customer of reddit, would this sort of protest and the potential fallout be concerning? I'm not sure…
To expand on this, part of ADHD is a disorder in "executive function". Attention, focus, impulse control, working memory, and flexibility are all part of that. Those are also all the things that make someone a worker…
My outdoor hobby is limited by rain (rock climbing), so I've gone through most of the weather apps. Dark Sky was by far the best, both for accuracy and visualization. I'm in this thread to hopefully find an alternative,…
Thanks for sharing. It's been wild for me to read through this thread and finding so much shared experience. For your comment, it could have been written exactly by me, just with the book and media subjects replaced…
For those that can't play it but would still like to experience the joys of its flavor of generative art, there's a YT channel that interprets it and puts a story and illustration to his playthroughs:…
I spent much of my 20's struggling with finding purpose in life, similar to the OP, and this is the only comment here that matched with what I landed on. I'm now about to begin my 30's with many of these things either…
Anecdotal disagree here. I have a system that would probably be deemed complicated by anyone that would look at it (even more so than the OP article). While I wouldn't consider myself the most successful person, I've…
I lasted about two weeks without climbing before I built myself free-standing backyard climbing wall: https://www.westby.io/woody/ I had to pick up all the tools for it, and with those I'm on a kick for other craft…
https://www.westby.io/blog/ I do a bit of traveling and a lot of climbing and have been posting some trip reports recently. I've also been doing book reviews if you're into the fantasy genre!
There's this blog post: Writing is Thinking: Learning to Write with Confidence https://blog.stephsmith.io/learning-to-write-with-confidence...
Great idea. This also sounds a lot like it falls in with the "ritual" concept from Deep Work by Cal Newport.
Here's a small tip for others that might help this problem: Don't use the application versions of any of your apps. Instead, open up the web version of all of them and keep all their tabs in one browser window. For…
There's a concept called Parasocial interaction that describes the relationship between an audience and a media personality (originally observed for tv personalities, but more recently YouTube and internet ones apply…

Agreed. I try to frame my posts to have helpful information first and foremost, for others in the same situations or even for my future self. Or for trip report type posts, for any others that were on the trip with me.
Your href.cool project is rad, and has inspired me to make my own! Thanks for sharing.
Here's mine. I graduated school in 2013 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but at the time of graduation I already knew I wanted to actually work in software. Year - Age - Total Income - Role 2014 - 23 - 36k -…
http://westby.io/ I just have a few posts right now, mostly related to climbing. Hoping to update the site and write more this year.
Your comment aligns with an old HN comment that I have saved that resonated with me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16402387 I'd also recommend people feeling this way to read The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan…
I have a post at my blog here: http://westby.io/5-books-ive-read-2018-1/ Some other books I read that I'd recommend: - Anathem - Deep Work - A Canticle for Leibowitz - Into Thin Air - Shoe Dog - Happiness Hypothesis
