      Perhaps as a balancing out there were grand sweeping maps that sometimes felt as justification to the older fans, like, hey we are trying out and exploring but this is the same old ribbonfarm and it all fits in 7/

      Sometimes it also felt, even in the guest posts, that things had to necessarily be connected to past themes. 8/

      Somewhere in the latter part of phase 2 you probably got bored with a been there done that feeling and desperately wanted to experiment more or someone else to tell you which new directions to explore 9/

      The current multiple threads are an initial part of a phase 3 so it is apt that you are agonizing about these things you muse aloud 10/

      Without much visibility into your meetups and camps my guess is that they helped strengthen a core group and your broad vision (starting roughly from the end of phase 1) and the segue into phase 2 11/

      I guess you are as anti-cultish as most of your steady base but somehow want to create/add value (try to read that unironically please) hence the thoughts on pure growth and related matters 12/

      Personally I liked phase 2 including #breakingsmart especially for its magical mix of conceptual-tactical, philosophical-prescriptive, humor-serious. Maybe credit goes to collaborators? 13/

      My inputs are: let age/stage (both yours and ribbonfarm's) consciously be a factor in considering choices. Your steady base is likely to ride along regardless of where you take it. 14/

      You underestimate how much and how many can benefit from what you do (am not weighing monetizability here), and how much you need to restate and revisit important points even if it seems boring to you 15/

      If there is one pitfall it is the veering too much toward abstraction/complexification, which, as is common, is also the strength and attraction of ribbonfarm in the first place 16/
