- People who inspire me are in large part great writers. Some examples who I've been reading/listening to lately
- Other cool things from this week:
- I found [[Andy Matuschak]] notes page which on one hand I find really cool, but I also found it pretty annoying to navigate at first. When you hover over a link, a little window pops up, but if you move your mouse it disappears, even if you try to move your mouse over the window. Not cool
- Once I got used to that, I still found it cool, but there is too a little too much going on for me to be able to really focus on the information.
- I saw that [[Salman Ansari]] uses [[Obsidian]], which looks like a great tool, comparable to [[Roam]]. Here's a reddit thread in some ways
- great editor for taking notes in markdown that get translated to this site
- Started reading [[Getting To Yes]] after reading [[Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice]]
- A note I liked: "Give them a stake in the outcome by making sure they participate in the process. If they are not involved in the process, they are unlikely to approve the product" pg. 29
- Getting someone to do what you want is easiest when they want the same thing.
- very applicable to the [[opensource]] space and collaboration in general. Everyone wants their own stake, just like you
- A note I liked: "Give them a stake in the outcome by making sure they participate in the process. If they are not involved in the process, they are unlikely to approve the product" pg. 29
- I also found a company I think it really cool [[Latacora]] from [[Patio11]]'s website
- Their business model is really interesting, and they are going after a really important, really hard, and really boring problem
- A great example of a [[migraine problem]]
- I saw [[Anish Shah]] this week! First time in over 6 months
- I found [[Andy Matuschak]] notes page which on one hand I find really cool, but I also found it pretty annoying to navigate at first. When you hover over a link, a little window pops up, but if you move your mouse it disappears, even if you try to move your mouse over the window. Not cool
