Since this came up today again and I felt really bad about it, I'm going to put this out there: I don't do talks anymore. At all. It doesn't matter how awesome it is or how crazy it would be for me to turn it down. Nope. Podcasts/interviews? That's fine! /1
Something I keep asking myself constantly that really helps is: What's the best use of my time? First, I just don't believe in being busy. If you're busy, you're not doing it right (Derek Sivers explains this well). Second, there's only a few things I'm good at. 2/
Furthermore, there's even fewer things that I'm uniquely good at. Example: I'm pretty good at software, but not uniquely good at it. So for that reason alone we at DeOldify decided that the two of us should spend the time on research rather than anything else that distracts 3/
from that. That includes A LOT of things you can potentially imagine doing as a business owner. We -could- be making a desktop app, a web service, doing media and selling it, and so on. We could also manage employees. We decided against all that. It's just not the best 4/
use of time, from our perspective. So it goes with things like doing talks, writing blogs and papers, and so many other thing that all the sudden seem expected out of somebody that people know on the internet. 5/
Generally in this world, to keep your sanity,, you have to rebel against expectations, and even more so if you're a minor niche internet celebrity. So all that stuff goes. All of it. It's irrelevant. Fuck it and be happy. 6/
Talks are even easier to throw into the "fuck that' category. Quite frankly, for me they cause waaaaay to much anxiety, take forever to prepare, reach a very limited audience, and at the end of the day I'm just not a good public speaker nor do I aspire to be one! 7/
So that's where I'm coming from if I get asked about doing a talk. It really is the official policy and it'll be the same answer no matter who it is! 8/
@citnaj quick question. For future DeOldify updates, would the addition of a user guided interface be beneficial? Judging by this video of a demonstration of this idea, I'm sure there'd be no harm in doing a similar onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL5ilZgM89Q …
It's definitely something I've roadmapped how to do and I think it's a great direction for a number of reasons. It's just a matter of time/resources more than anything at this point!
This is a good decision imo. There can be benefits to publishing commercial research. But, IMO, only if it’s truly significant. Mostly what gets published isn’t.
