@jayclouse More, but looking for the niches not the big boys.

@DanielPNorman Curious mind who likes ideas here, too. You came up on my feed and your bio got a follow from me. Appreciate the honesty and reminder of what’s actually good and worth pursuing in this place.

@ralucaroszkos Totally. “You’re right, I shouldn’t have done that” means nothing coming from a machine. With a human, much more is at stake and humans implicitly know it. There’s trust and consequence with each interaction.

@JamesAFurey Saw them on a wooded bike trail, which somehow made it more depressing.

@CaseyBHead Very much “we used to be a country” vibes from this absolute unit.

@TaylinSimmonds This is the way!

@TranscendntCode The possibility of it all can be overwhelming to the point of doing nothing at all. Learning to harness it and act on that curiosity changes your life. The world is endless.

Long-form writing is a projection of human will. We’re absolving ourselves of the great privilege to have one and calling it progress.

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Sobering article. Teachers feel they must limit writing assignments to classroom time, to combat AI cheating.

The downstream cost: students aren't being asked to do longer-form writing anywhere.

"Now she limits essay writing to the classroom, by hand, where students have little opportunity to develop longer, more complex arguments. The result, she admits, is that they may be unprepared for college-level writing.

Even her best students’ “eyes would fall out of their head,” she said, if she asked them to write an eight-page paper.

Her solution ensures that kids do their own work, but it may come at a cost. They lose the long, messy practice of learning how to compose at length and, some argue, how to think."

@VMViam @ItsKieranDrew I remember reading it for the first time wondering just how in the world it had taken me so long to hear about it. It totally changed my thinking in the very first chapter alone.

@VMViam @ItsKieranDrew Came here to make the same rec. Absolutely loved it.

@sharran Thought about this the other day, when people are timid to tell others their idea but spend forever before they ever actually put something in market. Why? If they're anything like you, you already have the proof they won't do anything about it.

@DylanoA4 This is true at a point, so i don’t want to discard the wisdom…but there’s an implied understanding that the reader has not found a way to take action. We’re all just filling our tanks and listening for ourselves in the story, which has value. But at some point it’s time to go.

This is sage advice. The online slop of all the “how to make $10k/mo online” get rich quick schemes have given too many people the frantic delusion that they’ll miss out on a modern day gold rush unless they burn the boats. Move fast. But be smart.

Please don't quit your job and go "all in".

Find an hour each day to grow a side project.

Replace 60% of your current income while trending in the right direction.

Then make your move. Almost always a better decision.

@ItsKieranDrew This is great. We would all do well not only to appreciate the visible cost of a thing, but also the hidden opportunity cost which is just as real.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Long-term thinking changes your short-term actions.

-When you intend to invest long-term, it changes which stocks you buy.
-When you intend to be in a relationship long-term, it changes the type of person you look for.
-When you intend to stay injury-free for the long term, it changes the type of workouts you do.

Build what lasts.

@justinrgraham Absolutely pristine and pure zen.

For anyone who completely broke out of the career or track their life was “supposed” to be on:

a) What was the lowest moment of doubt that had you questioning whether you had the right stuff?

b) What did it take to break past that and come out on the other side?
