Interesting
Also interesting that according to @thlpr - word "interesting" alone means I'm tweeting about Covid and Lockdowns!

My intention on sharing info on costs of lockdowns.

I'm not making any case about where tradeoffs flip to cause different decision - just sharing inputs for your model

What is your internal experience when silently "thinking"?

If other - please reply. Realizing my internal experience might be less common than had previously thought and in surprising ways.
If combination
Another followup - what happens as you think

Do your thoughts naturally get more clear as you put more time into silent thinking?

Or do you need to externalize somehow before progress can be made?

Every time I've posted a job for @RoamResearch publicly this year, we've had huge flood of applicants and its been overwhelming to try to parse signal from noise.

Sense there were strong candidates from unconventional backgrounds we were passing up.

Trying something new.
First - for UI engineer

we are a Clojure/Clojurescript shop, so you do need to have proficiency there, and show you know best practices, but you do not need to have professional experience.

Instead send github repo + link to a demo for the 7Guis

eugenkiss.github.io/7guis/
Ability to solve those 7 problems is currently minimum standard for engineering team. Strong preference you use Reagent - and no other libs, but only requirement is that solutions are CLJS

Have seen strong JS devs learning CLJS for first time solve all 7 in under 12 hours.

Things that remind me of @RoamResearch

🧵
If the temporary fix works for 4 years - counts as a permanent fix.

Thinking about how trauma can cause one to be more independently minded.

When I was much younger, had a number of pretty terrible experiences where I ignored my gut, and listened to the people around me.

Have noticed that I get extremely distressed when similar feelings come up
One I'll share

As a teen, was sledding with my girlfriend of the time, her friend, and my kid brother.

Paid some 20 somethings to buy us liquor, and after they got it, they invited us to their house.

Thought it was terrible idea, but girlfriend and her friend wanted to go....
Ignored the feeling of dread, and went along with the group. Drove us over.

An hour or so later, we were hanging out at their house, and their pitbull bit my brother in the face.

Required dozens of stitches, plastic surgery...

1cm to the right, and he'd have lost his eye.

Should I do a podcast?
I hate the general idea of it, but if it was just me calling people unexpectedly when I'd been up for more than 36 hours...

Not enough people trying to solve hard problems have a regular practice of "Hammock Time"

This is about Step One.

One of my all time favorite talks.

By @richhickey

Took an hour to meditate/think each of last two days.

Been out of practice far too long. Forgot how amazing it is.
More importantly - forgot how much I ENJOY this!

Somehow got in my head in the past few months that meditation was a chore, and something I SHOULD do...

Turned a thing I love and which helps me feel better into a stick to beat myself with.
