"The differences between tinkering and research" by @togelius is a great read. Never stop tinkering! http://togelius.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-differences-between-tinkering-and.html …
Fun, though I winced at the stuff about Einstein (which is just wrong - he'd written a bunch of papers before relativity, including some moderately important papers in 1903).

Here's what Google Scholar reports. More or less matches what I recall of Abraham Pais' bio of E, though I believe Pais reports two papers by Einstein in 1903. (I don't have the book handy.)pic.twitter.com/5svdupb4IQ

I edited the text in response to
@michael_nielsen's comment - the original text said "not published anything".
