Don’t try harder. Try easier.

After chatting with claude about creating a second brain, this is what it told me:

Based on our conversation, you don't need a second brain, you need a second frontal lobe

@yacineMTB wasnt X supposed to be blocked in china or something?

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@exQUIZitely you relinquish effort for the sake of convenience and quick rewards and things lose their charm

just like everything else in life

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@dark_triad_jim @xansnds @CrownDaygame @jollygoodlyfe You are just facing the consequences of addiction

You brought this upon yourself

Accept the pain

Until it goes away

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@YOHAMI I can relate

Life always gives me these situations I am not ready to handle

No matter how I might have improved

In any areas of life

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@dark_triad_jim @jollygoodlyfe you just described your own doom loop

take vacation

focus all your willpower into this

break the loop

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@dark_triad_jim @jollygoodlyfe what if you just stop it and just do something while you are awake?

read a book

binge watch something

for weeks

until the addiction goes away

your productivity will probably tank

maybe take two weeks of vacation to do just that?

am I missing something?

[Vicente @vicentronics]

What's the point of anything if humans aren't there to see?

[Vamsi Pingali @vamsiprithamp]

Not one mathematician (neither Gowers nor the Leiden people nor Terry Tao) is commenting on how to justify maths as a paid profession if AI becomes so good that humans only slow it down by being in the loop.

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@dark_triad_jim It was probably an ego-boost then

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@MatijaSosic Finally a down-to-earth discussion on this topic other than "software is free / engineering is dead / agents go brrr"

Social networking kinda just ruins reasonable discussions; it is a lot more entertaining to predict a radical future than to talk sense

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@dark_triad_jim @jollygoodlyfe Blank is a lie, it is not really blank

It’s your ego still clinging to your old concepts and giving you that feeling disguised as “blank”

once you truly delete expectations you can LAUGH at things; everything becomes a joke

it can be fun

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@YOHAMI @1usd1cangrejo @IrrenWirr doesnt open

[Vicente @vicentronics]

why refactor? didnt you just say you didnt look at the code anymore?

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Refactoring with agents is _so much fun_! Extract this! Move that! Integrate those! All the power, none of the headache.

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@YOHAMI funny, as far as i remember, he used to be a big fan of yours

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@unclebobmartin why refactor? didnt you just say you didnt look at the code anymore?

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@theralkia to see reality for what it is

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@MurrayHillGuy1 it’s her biggest fear

her brain is training her at night on how to handle it if it happens

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@9ineteen9 assuming the bird exists, yes

[Vicente @vicentronics]

@YOHAMI putting yourself in women's shoes will make you overthink.

It's useful as a one-off reflection but isn't a tool to be used with recurrence.
