    All of those are great, and I'd add one more: for every tweet you send, reply to someone else. Finding conversational accounts is great, but you have to also *be* a conversational account. Even with few followers, it's easy to slip into broadcasting mode if you're not careful.

    Sometimes I see someone on here and I'm like, "that person and I have definitely interacted, but I can't remember when..." It would also be interesting to see who's interacting with whom (and how), if you could pick a different pair of people.

    Is there a way to see your entire Twitter history with a given person? I.e. every tweet of yours that they liked, retweeted, replied to, or mentioned, and vice versa?

    Fittingly, the article I was drafting was about how I'm using as a slip-box. Here it is!

    I love total silence. I can't find it but a few weeks ago someone retweeted something along the lines of: "To do deep work you not only need not to be disturbed, you need to believe that you will not be disturbed."

    Is it just me, or is it really hard to get deep into flow during standard work hours? Even if you're not distracted by meetings, there's a bit too much psychic sludge in the way of real focus. It's only during evenings or weekends that I've ever fully inhabited a hard problem.

    Idea: slow-motion Twitter karaoke. You and your friends take turns paraphrasing famous tweetstorms. Some will be hilariously bad, others will rock the house and take on a life of their own.

    I keep typing "[[" when I'm not in Roam, and it feels like I'm missing a limb.

    Imagine being able to store a Roam database inside a git repo! And maybe allow the database to include, say, python files? You couldn't use tags within those files, but key terms would show up in unlinked references, and the documentation could be so nuanced and easy to explore.

    It's hard to do that in plain markdown, or in a Google doc. Unless your logic is really simple, you can't get away from functions and variables, which often force the reader to jump around the pseudocodebase. But Roam's sidebar allows for easy lookups. For example:

    Just realized that would make an outstanding IDE for pseudocode. There are times when you want to detail an algorithm in plain English, whether to think it through in a language-agnostic way or to explain it to non-programmers.

    The internet is Borges' Library of Babel, containing all possible sentences, and therefore all predictions. Like the story, it seems like a positive fact at first, and a sad one later.

    Just had my first experience drafting an article by connecting and reordering slip-box notes. 700 words of unpolished but intelligible prose in about 30 minutes. Of course, this was the culmination of many hours of reading and note-taking—but still, feels good! Very bottom-up.

    Concept: internal Schelling point. A place where your fragmented selves know to meet each other when they can't communicate.

    I'm about halfway through A Man on the Moon. It's less about the science than I'd hoped, but I'm learning a lot about talent and human excellence

    It also now feels just as elegant and intuitive as the tidyverse, which I wouldn't have thought was possible. I'm planning to write up some of what I've learned soon, but for now: if you're hesitant to venture beyond the cozy world of the tidyverse, there is hope!

    I tried reading Fluent Python, but struggled to apply its lessons. Then I discovered , which whipped me into shape surprisingly fast. Still tons to learn, but my Python is far more idiomatic and powerful than before.

    At first I felt very limited, essentially like I was speaking a foreign language and knew a few basic phrases but had to look up words constantly. Even as I got more comfortable, I was still very much programming in Python with a tidyverse "accent".
