For me writing is thinking; me actively processing and understanding the world. So I struggle when an AI asks to write something for me. Like asking a robot to exercise for you. I'm sure we'd get some very buff robots, but that's not the point? Withered…

Person mentions topic like "shoes". Normal human: "Good shoes are great!" LinkedIn: "Steve Jobs said 3 simple words that will revolutionize how you think about shoes" Me: "Here's 10 pages, single-spaced on shoes. You will appreciate the details in 3-5…

I find that most of my real design breakthroughs happens in 15 minutes of cryptic barely-verbal scribbling in a notebook. It is so obvious what needs to happen. And then I spend 4+ hours writing it up in a fashion that is mildly comprehensible and…

Today I forced myself to sit in a cafe with a notepad for dreaming. And a book for comfort reading. For 2 hours. I get too busy, and tell myself I just can't justify the time. Yet somehow this 'sloth' is worth 4-6 hours of being a cog grinding away at my…

Wowza! The amount of progress you can make when the whole team finally *sees* the game and then you've just got a prioritized list of 5 billion obvious fixes to chew through.
