For a lot of things I agree organization is over-rated, but for some things it's essential. And, in any case -- collecting things whether organized or not is super important. I think the act of capturing notes, todos, bookmarks, and ot

I try to optimize for what is enjoyable. Making and using the thing, whatever it is should be fun. The reason is, bringing a product to market involves so much drudgery and success is so unlikely — you might as well have a good time. Enjoym

Simply put: darker = softer (read: holds point for less time). Standard pencil is the sweet spot (2 hb). As a former art student and user of (probably) many hundreds of pencils, I can say it's hard to beat that middle ground for writin

I’m sure there are places I’d feel proud to work, but right now it’s for myself. I have built a successful consulting practice that has allowed me to bootstrap a SaaS business and buy and operate a very small farm. The thing I’m proud of is

Primary computer is a desktop (since going full remote): ubuntu on repurposed gaming rig. I'm really happy with how well this computer works. As such, it's taken some of the pressure off having a perfect laptop. Laptops: Dell XPS

I disagree. I've switched primary keyboards many times: from cheap pc keyboards to standard apple keyboards, to minimal mechanical, and now the advantage. I also routinely use a windows workspace from a linux host which totally throws

I built a system called Tap [0]. It does a lot more than collect bookmarks, but the bookmark functionality[1] is solid. I had the realization that the impulse to collect a bookmark is similar to the impulse to collect all kinds of things: n

I don’t think you can use the epson ink because it is pigment based opposed to dye. the pigment-based ink require a specific medium for suspending pigment that differs from color to color. dyes on the other hand can mix. mixing takes experi

Yes. I just bought the monochrome ecotank printer for a project and worked out with a rep from inkowl to get 3rd party mixable dye ink to print a custom mixed single color. worked pretty well.

I’ve been on both sides of the table, big company and small. The common interview practices, and the one brought up by OP, stem from a desire to have a system that doesn’t rely on trusting the candidate. I think this is a bad place to start

Regarding what works best for the individual: I completely agree! Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting there is any universal solution to note-taking. In fact, my work is all about enabling people to build different systems.

Pen and paper is the "best". Not for everyone, everywhere. But, for most people most places. There is nothing as cheap and fast as a pen and paper. That said there are huge drawbacks to pen and paper. For one thing, in order to us

The best way to deal with fleeting notes is a pen and paper. The next best solution is Tap [0] (disclaimer: I am the founder). I had a few revelations related to these kinds of notes: In order for them to get collected, they need to be coll
