I want to start a TikTok. Thinking I’ll start this weekend.

Thinking it would be cool to learn how to translate my ideas and things I can teach into that medium from someone who knows it well, put the interview on YouTube

Anyone want to be my tutor for an hour?

You may not have any idea about what 5 will be when you build 1,2,3 or 4

Look deeper, forget what you know, see what is changing in each step

Wheels, Steering, Gears, Engine, Frame

Note how elements of 1 get stripped away, only reintroduced at stage 5

Request for startup or small business:

I send you an essay, or a blog post, or some moderate length text

you send me a Dropbox link with audio file of decent reading

As in 1 take from medium skill voice actor who can pronounce (or look up pronunciation for technical terms)
I’m happy to pay $1 a minute, and not publish links — just keep for personal use.

Would start with a package of 15/hrs ($900) a month.

Should be enough to bootstrap

decent chunk of my requests will be public domain so you can use to advertise.
To apply: reply to this thread say which of posts 1-21 of below you’ll record

I like your tweet to shake, you DM me recording and I’ll pay you for it, (plus $10 for @fortelabs’ paywall) best submissions get a week long trial, very best get monthly gig.

How you feel about @MightyApp is how you feel about yourself.
@Suhail is at the frontier. This is the kind of deep research Silicon Valley has promised and failed to deliver. I hope and expect they will win.
Getting a faster browser and offloading compute to the mainframe is self love in 2021.

I was surprised to see such a negative reaction to this exchange - but I think I see something pretty useful here, and it seems worth sharing while it is fresh - so at risk of further derailing my day...

Why I said "No" to Roadmaps
And why the right response was [[Yes and]]
First - I assume that @Roamhacker did not realize they were retweeting a tweet from me pointing to a dead link

Here is the archive of the original page

As a stark reminder of the dangers of link-rot, it was a Roadmap of our design questions at the time

Throughout my life, I've had a lot of people tell me that they think I should have different priorities, or do different tasks (Go to college, get a job etc)

Just to be perfectly clear, @RoamResearch we don’t want use you private notes to learn about you - AT ALL.

Only reason normal graphs don’t have E2EE across the board is because combining that w multiplayer is

A) A hard design problem
B) A hard engineering problem

And C)...
I’m probably even worse at managing and recruiting than design or engineering!

A better CEO would almost certainly have grown our team faster, and managed the great staff we have more effectively

In that world we’d have even better collaboration and “Trust No One” security
As it stands, we have best in class security, but the class includes folks like Google, Facebook, and every run of the mill tech company that wants to mine your data to serve you ads.

We’re explicit in our terms of service that Roam will not read your notes, but code beats law.

Keen observers will notice the @steak_umm style guide at play

Mi-STEAK as alternate spelling of Mistake.

Headlines of a steak company starting “BEEF”

Also their epistemology is sound, and this righteous act has won them good amount of earned media.

Hats off Brand!
If you doubt the true victor
I love that @steak_umm retweeted this
