Imo all pricing comes down to value, cost, and market. Value (being how helpful is it to the customer) sets the upper bound. Costs (what it costs you to run or make) sets the lower bound. Though my product is a SaaS ( https://dopp

Thanks for reading! This was actually addressed in the write up I considered crowdsourcing, but opted for a device over solving the “cold-start” problem as I thought I’d get more complete data (and have more success) Unfortunately I was wro

Except for some reason rather than saying this is obvious, many claim it's not true. I agree that the biggest criticism of this is that it's obvious, but the amount of cultural pushback is what makes it semi-interesting to say in

If I'm doing in bulk, maybe 15min of actual work (get list, validate) If I'm doing one-by-one, it takes me about 3min per person because I'm personalizing the top-line of each email Both of these can take some hours to send o

Thanks for reading! The "it" in "before you can violate it" is referring to music theory not the drop (maybe bad writing on my part). I also grew up as a classical pianist. Not saying creativity is memory, just saying cr

I disagree, I think writing purely based off anecdotal evidence is fine as long as you're not making scientific claims (which I'm not). Simply sharing what works for me and why I think it does for something as personal as creativi

Appreciate this, that's exactly it -- not challenging any existing theories or academia. Not even saying I'm right or novel. Just sharing a framework born from my observations that is actively working for me. Honestly didn't

Thanks for reading! This brings up an interesting point -- while I think many people read and forget self-help books without ever improving their lives, the way they can mostly help people (imo) is by: 1) identifying a heuristic 2) making m

But you must have knowledge of the basic units of your chosen art to apply that to the new situation right? E.g. if you're an artist, at the very least you need the knowledge of how to draw a line From other comments here it seems the

Perhaps this is where I disagree -- I believe while difficult, all tacit knowledge can be made explicit, but is just hard to do so This may be because I'm not good at picking up on social cues, so had to learn things more consciously B

Great passage -- this is exactly what I was trying to get at, though they've described it with much more eloquence and historical backing. Have never heard of this book but adding to my list now!

I think I see -- in your view "memorization" only refers to conscious learning While internalized knowledge comes from "subconscious" (for lack of a better word) learning? I guess I'm equating the two here and just

by shw1n 2y ago
Hey thanks for reading! What I was trying to convey is that fundamentally learning is memorization, whether conscious "rote memorization" or more less-intentional committing to memory from doing an activity And that recognizing th
