Anytime I’ve seen a positive-interest-rate knowledge repo, it’s because many people were resurfacing bits and pieces at random and making point improvements. So the only known solution to date for positive interest rate has been to collectivize and socialize the prosthetic memory

I am experiencing a kind of grind that I'll call a "Windows 95 to Windows XT" experience. My current state is a complex thing (Windows) built on a primitive simple thing (DOS) and I have to now go back and rebuild foundations in light of the clarity achieved at the complex levels

This is definitely not as fun as the first 2 stages. I think I'm going through a double freytag process here. 1. Discovery (pre-Roam) increasing entropy collection 2. Sensemaking (stage 1 Roam) 3. Valley (mergeconflicts and rationalization)

Hmm. Conflicted about what to do about the content I started putting into
@readingsupply a few months back. While Roam is clearly a much more powerful paradigm, I do like RS's cleaner presentation and collaboration/permissions model.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1199511350919065600 …Show this thread -
(in the quoted earlier tweet in this thread, I mistakenly referred to it as paper dot supply) I was briefly kicking the tires on that a few months back, but unfortunately, it didn't take as a habit the way Roam appears to be doing for me.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1140787641106911233?s=20 …

It'd be nice if http://reading.supply or something like it were bolted onto Roam as a sort of classic publishing/sharing front-end.

I was briefly being pretty evangelical about reading supply, but the enthusiasm dropped rather quickly once I realized the creation workflow friction is too high... on par with say google docs. But still, there's some stuff there that's interestingly different from Roam.

Unlike Workflowy, which I think has been strictly superseded by Roam. Again a nice product, but simply beaten comprehensively by a better one. For now. I don't think it's down for the count yet.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1207437689709969408 …

Important threshold: it’s now easier to create a page linked off the right existing page for a one-liner thought than to tweet it and then postprocess the tweet. Took some practice, but I do it routinely now. Roam has hacked the tweeting impulse. Like Uber hacked taxi-hailing.

When I compare to effort in late 90s (hand code new html page, edit existing to link, and ftp to home page site) the effort level to create a meaningfully linked page has fallen fallen faster than Moore’s law. I now do it on phone for 1-liners. Amazing.

Kinda like what git did to code commits and forks. Made it really cheap and got us to continuous deployment/continuous integration. Roam is CD/CI for brain.
