I really like the Twain quote. With reference to OP; you'll notice on this site and elsewhere on the web, the best posts are very frequently of the form - "I just figured out this thing and I'm writing this blog post to share

I definitely share your view that the content there is lack lustre (was it ever great?) and it's certainly a high noise-to-signal platform for job searching. My experience is that it is still an excellent place to reach prospective buy

Stand out from a crowded job market by writing technical blog posts. This is super valuable advice I wish I'd known much earlier. Now I'm in a position to make hiring decisions, developers which can prove their mastery and passion

A reassuring take on the history of automation as a labour substitute. While I'd like to believe the fundamental message here still holds from 2015, recent advances make me a little less confident that the following continues to be tru

I had no idea you could do this. Very helpful for theming where the colour of elements needs to be determined at runtime by the user

Appreciated but what we need is the oral history of Jack Dorsey in this time period to understand if this was the only problem he was considering working on. As I say, even if that were true, the problem != the idea. The problem is a starti

> "I want to start a company, what should it do?" That's not what the article is saying, although I appreciate the sentiment exists. The core idea was that, if you are someone that likes to solve problems, and you've

Agreed the primary objective is solutions to problems. I tend to think the best solutions will very often come from entrepreneurs and startups but that need not always be the case. However, on the margin, you should choose to solve the bigg

Yep finding opportunities to take advantage of changes in technology to solve a problem 10x better is part of ideation. > “want to work on this problem; business seems to be the best way.” This is the right attitude but I would ask - why

I think it's very easy to over-index on this point. Indeed I think it's now super fashionable to do so. The whole "ideas are cheap, execution is everything" argument. Ideas aren't everything but they are important

It's a very tricky book to get a handle on, I must confess I've only made it halfway. I made a sort of "reader's companion" app to try to make sense of some of the esoteric language and references - https:/&#x

Awesome progress, congrats on that! How did you know blood sugar was out of control, where you actively measuring I guess? Also really feel you on "Record progress as appropriate", it seems like progress is never going to be that

I went back and forth on whether it was a good idea. In the end I wrote one and it was well received by my team. Indeed, most of the team wrote one and we collated them in our documentation space. This was pretty helpful in the first few mo
