Energy ignites talent
Nothing releases energy as effectively as purpose
Credit @tferriss for great interview with the author of [[The Inner Game of Tennis]], and @AirrAudio for providing tool for extraction

Great ideas, in context of [[The Last Dance]] and [[Michael Jordan]] and reality that [[You win games in practice]]

Time for my "Conor is in same room as a 16 y/o" speech

I STRONGLY considered attending @LambdaSchool after selling my first company.

Chose not to go because required waking up at a specific time every day.

STRONGLY prefer my kids wind up going to LS vs debt-shackling college.
If you, or anyone you love, is wanting to transition from a bullshit job into tech - and you do not have ton of engineer friends who will mentor you, and ton of experience in teaching yourself hard material, and years to spend wandering interwebs...

@LambdaSchool is where I'd go
One last thing

If you're the kind of entitled asshole who can't figure out that 70% graduation rate, and 87% placement rate DOES NOT MEAN you are guaranteed a job...

and so you sue and defame

Please
please
PLEASE!

take a $200k loan for that BA in art appreciation instead

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?

[[Intermediate Deliverables]]
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)

An important shifts in my life was realizing that it was almost never the right move to ARGUE with those folks

However..
