This is incredible work. Bret Victor's as well.
Somehow I'd never seen Amit's work before, and Bret's only very recently—despite being inadvertently bitten by the same bug as both of them a couple years back. Granted, a conservative estimate puts either of them as being about five hundred times more productive than myself.
Bret's work in particular is humbling. The "explorable explanations" concept was something I'd given a lot of thought to, and it turns out Bret had dedicated an entire article to elucidating it back in 2011, years prior.
Perhaps the greatest irony of being obsessed with accelerated learning is that while you're trying to build the tools or technology to enable it, you find yourself wanting the very thing you're building. e.g. "I could build my magic learning computer much more quickly if only I had a magic learning computer!" While this is frustrating, it at least serves as constant validation, as you try to force yourself to pay attention to some dry, overly-verbose reference on a particular subject.
