This, except I am painfully aware every day of how we haven’t solved the problem that drove me to work on this.

Success is the small improvements compounding, hard won victories that let you take on ever harder parts of the problem.

[[Beginning of Infinity]] ish
Shoutout to all my exes that were willing to use @RoamResearch to try and resolve our disagreements

Namaste to everyone who ever put in work to try and find out what the hell I was talking bout.

Hopefully the bright side of having hard-mode problem is that solutions will scale
Also much love to everyone in #roamcult who reads my tweets charitably and with assumption of positive intent, and to @EpistemicHope and rationality.org for pioneering work on [[Double Crux]], one of best processes I’ve found for thinking together

And love to Roam team, slow is smooth and smooth is fast — hopefully the things we do today that don’t scale mean we can stay as agile and aligned at 200 people as we were at 2.

Be ready for it to be weird and difficult though
If you’re the kind of nerd who has ever asked your romantic partner to define their terms, and kept the definitions IN WRITING and brought them back later — successfully!

We’re hiring.
If you’ve pissed off family members at thanksgiving by attempting to paraphrase their political rants to make sure you understood the logical structure of their political or religious rant... if you have ever broken out a whiteboard at Thanksgiving...

We’re hiring!
Obviously technical tools are only ever going to be one part of a solution

Best tools we have today are processes like Non-Violent communication, circling, and authentic relating games.

We need everything we can get if we’re going to figure out how to understand each other tho

I think about this a lot, but have to side with John Hammond
Monday morning quarterbacking, but the park probably would have gotten into the black with just triceratops and brontosaurus.

I question ROI of Velociraptors, or why you wouldn’t wait 5 years to breed them and have the announcement bump up return visits
I also question staffing decisions - besides the key man risk in IT, what kind of head of security waits until the target is in sight to load his gun?

Was she really that clever, or was this fellow simply a dunce?

Anyway the answer is still always to bring back dinosaurs

The thing people actually fall in love with with Roam are the ideas, memories, and work they put into it.

Only a reflection of what you put in

If your work is spiritually dead, it’s much easier to sneer and blame “the system” than to face and question yourself and your choices.
“You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life’s procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.”

Big if true.

Shame Twitter is poor fact-checking UI, this is definitely verifiable for someone with time/ability.

A small Roam graph making would be beautiful to see

Buy when there is 🩸 in the streets.

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

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]]

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?
