OK, I think I get it. Your primary argument here is that it's better to sit with ideas for a while before writing about them. My counter-argument is that's what I do... for my long form writing (aka "entries"). My link blog is faster reactions and has different standards - while I try to add value to everything I write there it's still a high volume of content where my goal is to be useful and accurate and interesting but not necessarily deep and thoughtful. And yeah, you're absolutely right that the speed at which I comment here is that same thing again. I treat comments like they were an in-person conversation. They're how I flesh out ideas. I wrote about my philosophy around blogging in one of my long-form pieces a few years ago: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/6/what-to-blog-about/ https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/6/what-to-blog-about/ > I’ve definitely felt the self-imposed pressure to only write something if it’s new, and unique, and feels like it’s never been said before. This is a mental trap that does nothing but hold you back. That's why I like having different content types - links and quotes and notes and TILs - that reduce the pressure to only publish if I have something deep, thoughtful and unique to say.
