I thought this was going t be about productivity gains through idle time. It's actually about spending half your time self promoting. It's directed toward researchers, but it applies equally to anyone producing output. The point: do good work, but also promote it or it'll never see the light of day.
- bradfordcross 17y agoYou are right about the main point. When I first started looking into this topic, I thought it was that simple. "You just have to tell the world about your work," I told myself.

If you read through Hamming's statements, and my reflections on them, you can see that it is not as simple as just promoting - it is specific recipes about how to do so effectively, and how to avoid certain mistakes.
