Calmer mind vs Busier mind - is it a clear choice? Busier mind is high entropy and hence high on creativity, low on resolution & agency. Calmer mind is finding patterns to solve problem instead of chancing upon the solution. Although if the solution is unknown, you won't be able

I hardly am as impressed with a horizontal product as this. It was high time story telling as slides took a fallback. What Notion did with organising knowledge, @Chronicle would do with knowledge presentation I think. Have a look Ben Lang :) Onwards and upwards 🚀

as i am getting used to using ai in building things, i am *forced* to being more thoughtful in my prompt writing - detailed, specific but concise. one major detractor for <remote work> was the fluidity of conversation quality (more like laziness in articulation + lack of
