      I just want to point out, with VERY GREAT GLEE that we had a very similar conversation back in January, in this very same tree, with certainly John and Devon participating (and I can't see Omar right now, but I'll bet he's there).

      also, the age-based social structure @backus illuminates provides a nice "real" reason for the resurfacing, which feels much better than, say, a script that sends you a classic to re-read every Tuesday.

      We’re very good at this spaced repetition thing. Here is me hitting on the same theme again almost exactly a year ago:https://twitter.com/backus/status/1039739206229270528 …

      I like your approach. Different to mine, where I simply won't shut up about it - one continual, never-ending massed presentation! 😀

          You have hundreds of flash cards about different parts of spaced repetition while I have one card that says “Twitter is spaced repetition”
