- We have to keep talking
- Talking is for people, silence is for the Gods

- Genuinely bummed how much better of a person I seem to be on adderall. There are, of course, some things that become worse about me. But it does seem like most aspects improve pretty noticeably. What is up with that?
- This sounds a lot like a framing problem. “Better” in what frame of reference? Presumably the frame that is dominant in the world around you. Did you choose that frame? What are the tradeoffs that come from that frame? What other frames are possible?
- Even if you walk away from those questions above with a preference for the dominant frame vs alternatives, still worth remembering that there is likely gray area you don’t see clearly. Things change. Be open, not judgmental.

- Continually reminded that composition is extremely powerful. Tools that can be easily composed via simple, clean APIs create huge leverage. Things requiring tight integration, in the weeds details work, can also create leverage, but it’s generally harder to get there.
- The older I get (and more financially secure), the more likely I am to communicate to my friends that I like what they are doing by actually buying the things they take time to create. Very powerful, especially the first time you do it, and usually isn’t super expensive (~$20).
- What would be an interesting experiment to run? What would be an interesting thing to see in the world? What would be an interesting thing to learn about myself?
- Can be kind of a hard problem because we tend to ignore/resist data that challenges things we think must be true. Which then makes it hard to even see that these things exist and could be explored.

- Blockcode: A visual programming toolkit
The code style is procedural, not object-oriented or functional. We could do the same things in any of these paradigms, but that would require more setup code and wrappers to impose on what exists already for the DOM.
- There are a few programming paradigms (e.g. procedural, object-oriented, functional, maybe more). I wish I had a better sense of the tradeoffs of each kind. I can come up with some of the most obvious ones (things that mostly affect how a single file is structured), but have much less of a sense for tradeoffs that come from deep usage of each (other than procedural, I suppose).

- Anki review thoughts
- Rumours is one of those albums that is absolutely full of bangers
- Queen, so fun
- Weird to think that Radiohead’s “Creep” came out the year I was born…
- Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales is a great song to shout along to
- Rumours is one of those albums that is absolutely full of bangers
- things to try
