having a network of people you know who you can get advice from, work through problems with, and rely on is more useful than every how to video on youtube combined

maybe the way to do this is to outline first steps and attitude then let things happen naturally for your readers?

I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a non cliched way to transfer my experience as a software developer but so much is just instinct, years of trying, being in it. https://twitter.com/empathy2000/status/1633167606109675520

at my previous company we had a color we called
"color-screaming-gray" (# aaaaaa)

i would like to propose "color-psychokiller" (# fafafa)

The trick here is realizing that with most things you do, it's actually pretty trivial to finish the puzzle if you just trust that there's a way.

People love documenting but hate doing because with documenting, there is certainty.

Would you rather do a jigsaw puzzle where you know you have all the pieces, or one where you are merely hoping you have all the pieces? What if doubt creeps in?

the princess and the pea -> roadtripper and the uncomfortable couch of a friend -> backpacker and the tarp

also, texting a real person is still a hundred times more efficient than ingesting any kind of recording, for most complex tasks

what's missing is the intuition, which hasn't been, and couldn't have been, shared except through two people coming together in real life

This is part of why the motivational, cooking, lifting, etc youtube scenes are dangerous.

"you have video of someone else doing it! the only thing stopping you is yourself." is the refrain of the sisyphean song

Really the most effective way to give your intuition to someone else is in person. I think basically every other method falls deeply short, and in-person still isn't perfect. But you're upping the success rate substantially.

Successful people writing memoirs and self-help books are basically trying to reverse-engineer their own intuition. I think this works sometimes, but ultimately, a lot of intuition is non-fungible and can't be reverse-engineered. You have to build your own.

i let myself take notes during the first ~10 minutes of a meditation

any time i have a compelling thought come up, i'd open my eyes, grab my phone, and write it down in the notes app, then return

once my head is sufficiently empty, i sit much more easily

If you don't enjoy your meditation practice, change it until you do.

3yo: I don’t want to go to school.

3yo:

3yo: But… I like school…?

me: When it’s school time you don’t want to go. When school’s out you don’t want to come home. When it’s bath time you don’t want a bath. When the bath is over you want to stay in.

3yo: That’s interesting.

this is my first @cxgonzalez-style tweet in a minute lol

this is tongue in cheek but partially not. it’s not like there are no levers to be pulled re: stuff we don’t completely understand. the world is full of black boxes that we’ll never see the insides of, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t consider the black box when making decisions

if you’re unhappy with your weight, have you considered moving?

actually the obesity epidemic is easy to understand. some places make you more obese than others

ChatGPT is the ultimate lesson in “trust then verify”
