    <link>https://hojberg.xyz/the-programmer-identity-crisis/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Joan Didion, the great American essayist, famously wrote: “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means.” Peter Naur explores this same concept in his work, “Programming as Theory Building.” Naur’s “Theory” embodies the understanding of a codebase. How it operates, its formalisms, and its representations of the real world. A context and insight that is only gained from immersion. Naur describes the “Theory” as the primary outcome of programming, the actual product, as opposed to the software it resulted in. Only with a well-developed “Theory” can one effectively apply extensions and bug fixes to codebases. With the ambivalent glances at code that comes with vibing, building such a theory is difficult. Naur would deem it impossible, I’m sure.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <title>28 slightly rude notes on writing - by Adam Mastroianni</title>

    <link>https://www.experimental-history.com/p/28-slightly-rude-notes-on-writing</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>This is why it’s very difficult to teach people how to write, because first you have to teach them how to care. Or, really, you have to show them how to channel their caring, because they already care a lot, but they don’t know how to turn that into words, or they don’t see why they should.

Instead, we rob students of their reason for writing by giving it to them. “Write 500 words about the causes of the Civil War, because I said so.” It’s like forcing someone to do a bunch of jumping jacks in the hopes that they’ll develop an intrinsic desire to do more jumping jacks. But that’s not what will happen. They’ll simply learn that jumping jacks are a punishment, and they’ll try to avoid them in the future.</blockquote>
<blockquote>Most of the students who came into the Writing Center thought the problem with their essay was located somewhere between their forehead and the paper in front of them. That is, they assumed their thinking was fine, but they were stuck on this last, annoying, arbitrary step where they have to find the right words for the contents of their minds.

But the problem was actually located between their ears. Their thoughts were not clear enough yet, and that’s why they refused to be shoehorned into words.

Which is to say: lots of people think they need to get better at writing, but nobody thinks they need to get better at thinking, and this is why they don’t get better at writing.</blockquote>]]></description>

In Auden's interpretation, the Prolific are those who the farmer; the skilled worker; the scientist; the cook; the innkeeper; the doctor; the teacher; the athlete; the artist. The Devourers are the political types who depend on what is already produced for their the "Judges, Policemen, Critics. These are the real Lower Orders, the low, sly lives, whom no decent person should receive in his house." As in Blake, the sections and subsections of Auden's book are unified and propelled by the oracular need to express the key components of human nature.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“The difficulties that ensue are no more rooted in syntactic rigidities than is, say, the difficulty of writing a good sonnet rooted in the rigid form demanded by that class of poem. To write a good sonnet or a good program, one must know what one wants to say.”</blockquote>
<blockquote>To understand something sufficiently well to be able to program it for a computer does not mean to understand it to its ultimate depth. There can be no such ultimate understanding in practical affairs. Programming is rather a test of understanding. In this respect it is like writing; often when we think we understand something and attempt to write about it, our very act of composition reveals our lack of understanding even to ourselves. Our pen writes the word “because” and suddenly stops. We thought we understood the “why” of something, but discover we don’t…

Programming is like that. It is, after all, writing too. But in ordinary writing we sometimes obscure our lack of understanding, our failures in logic, by unwittingly appealing to the immense flexibility of natural language and to its inherent ambiguity. The very eloquence that natural language permits sometimes illuminates our words and seems (falsely, to be sure) to illuminate our undeserving logic just as brightly. An interpreter of programming-language texts, a computer is immune to the seductive influence of mere eloquence… a computer is a merciless critic…</blockquote>]]></description>

There was no one simple “printing did X” — in different fields, it had different impacts. Eisenstein notes that “religious and scientific traditions were affected by printing in markedly different ways”, calling the shift “complex and contradictory” and impossible to “encapsulate… in any one formula.”

While we’ll go into the many examples in more detail in the rest of this essay, I want to call out from the beginning that there is no magic analytical bullet. Impacts on education, sex, religion, culture, economics—ML's impact on all will be different, complex, and often contradictory.</blockquote>]]></description>

It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.[1][2] It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not. The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.[3]</blockquote>]]></description>

Even very smart, capable communicators routinely send important documents that distract from, or even undermine, their goals.

This isn't too surprising; we almost never actually teach people how to use the ordinary tools of business communication in more effective ways. So, I'm gathering some advice that I regularly share with people, in hopes that this helps you get your messages across more effectively. All of this is advice that should apply regardless of whether you're using tools like Google Docs (uh...

The goal#
Interop between social media apps based on the features writers need. #
What we're doing#
Moving documents between networked apps. We need a set of common features in order for it to work. #
The features are motivated by the needs of writers. Not by programmers or social media company execs.#
As a writer, these are the features I want:#
Titles are optional. Any post can have a title, or not. If you're writing something like a quick social media post, there's no need for a title. But if you're writing something longer, you might need one. It must be up to the writer to decide if a post gets a title.#
Links. This is what makes the web so powerful. When I have an idea that is explained elsewhere, I don't have to repeat it in my writing, I can just link to it. For example here's the Wikipedia page about social media. That's all I'm talking about.#</blockquote>]]></description>

TOOLS FOR THOUGHT
Your Blog as a Commonplace Book
SEPTEMBER 28, 2023OCTOBER 5, 2023 BY PHIL HOUTZ 
A page from the notebook of 18th century artist George Caitlin, with the headline "Amusements" describing his paintings of various activities
ARTIST GEORGE CAITLIN'S NOTEBOOK - IMAGE COURTESY OF SMITHSONIAN
In a post titled The Memex Method Cory Doctorow notes that he thinks of his blog as a kind of commonplace book. It is a sort of digital journal where he collects whatever captures his attention and saves it for future use.

The benefit that his blog gives him over a notebook or a PKM tool like logseq, is that it forces him to clarify his thinking enough for public consumption.

This echoes Zettelkasten creator Niklas Luhmann’s sentiment that “it is impossible to think without writing; at least it is impossible in any sophisticated or networked fashion.” See PDF Communicating with Slip Boxes

The Commonplace Book as Hypertext
The commonplace book rose to the height of popularity around the 1600s, and was a way for people to collect and re-use knowledge. Some people kept a commonplace book for specific knowledge, such as formulations for different colors of printer’s ink. But the more general use was to collect quotations that could be used for any occasion.</blockquote>]]></description>

The application layer is a great place to build. As long as we can switch our LLM provider without users noticing—possible now, and getting easier by the day—then we will be beholden to no one but our users. This is a great position to be in. The people who think AI writing tools are thin “GPT wrappers” aren’t looking closely enough. True, you can build a cool demo in a weekend. But a full-featured collaborative word processor that’s usable in teams, works across platforms, and gives great writing advice? That’s incredibly challenging to build.

We’re focused on the things that don’t change, and can never be “good enough.” Amazon’s prices can never be too low, and their packages can never get to you too fast. Apple’s user experience can never be too good. At Lex, we believe people will always value more helpful writing feedback, and will always want to think more clearly and communicate more effectively. This is as much an editorial problem as a technical one. We are working with world class experts at different types of writing to produce uniquely helpful suggestions. Amidst all the noise in the AI hype cycle, no one seems to be taking this idea seriously.</blockquote>]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Obviously, no one can speak for all writers, but let me make the argument that starting with a blurry copy of unoriginal work isn’t a good way to create original work. If you’re a writer, you will write a lot of unoriginal work before you write something original. And the time and effort expended on that unoriginal work isn’t wasted; on the contrary, I would suggest that it is precisely what enables you to eventually create something original. The hours spent choosing the right word and rearranging sentences to better follow one another are what teach you how meaning is conveyed by prose. Having students write essays isn’t merely a way to test their grasp of the material; it gives them experience in articulating their thoughts. If students never have to write essays that we have all read before, they will never gain the skills needed to write something that we have never read.

    <title>This is Water by David Foster Wallace (Full Transcript and Audio) - Farnam Street</title>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“Greetings parents and congratulations to Kenyon’s graduating class of 2005. There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

This is a standard requirement of US commencement speeches, the deployment of didactic little parable-ish stories. The story thing turns out to be one of the better, less bullshitty conventions of the genre, but if you’re worried that I plan to present myself here as the wise, older fish explaining what water is to you younger fish, please don’t be. I am not the wise old fish. The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about. Stated as an English sentence, of course, this is just a banal platitude, but the fact is that in the day to day trenches of adult existence, banal platitudes can have a life or death importance, or so I wish to suggest to you on this dry and lovely morning.]]></description>

    <title>Pixar's 22 Rules of Storytelling</title>
    <dc:date>2022-04-07T20:07:36+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.aerogrammestudio.com/2013/03/07/pixars-22-rules-of-storytelling/</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Pixar’s Rules of Storytelling were originally tweeted by Emma Coats, Pixar’s Story Artist. Number 9 on the list – When you’re stuck, make a list of what wouldn’t happen next – is a great one and can apply to writers in all genres.

You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.
You gotta keep in mind what’s interesting to you as an audience, not what’s fun to do as a writer. They can be very different.
Trying for theme is important, but you won’t see what the story is actually about til you’re at the end of it. Now rewrite.
Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You’ll feel like you’re losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the polar opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?
Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
Finish your story, let go even if it’s not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
When you’re stuck, make a list of what WOULDN’T happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you’ve got to recognize it before you can use it.
Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you’ll never share it with anyone.
Discount the 1st thing that comes to mind. And the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it’s poison to the audience.
Why must you tell THIS story? What’s the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That’s the heart of it.
If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don’t succeed? Stack the odds against.
No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on – it’ll come back around to be useful later.
You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best & fussing. Story is testing, not refining.
Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
Exercise: take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How d’you rearrange them into what you DO like?
You gotta identify with your situation/characters, can’t just write ‘cool’. What would make YOU act that way?
What’s the essence of your story? Most economical telling of it? If you know that, you can build out from there.]]></description>

    <title>Finding Language/Market Fit: How to Make Customers Feel Like You’ve Read Their Minds | First Round Review</title>
    <dc:date>2022-02-08T02:26:04+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://review.firstround.com/finding-language-market-fit-how-to-make-customers-feel-like-youve-read-their-minds</link>
    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What’s going on here isn’t magic, nor is it “just marketing tactics.” It’s language/market fit at work — when you find the exact right words to explain your product or service to prospective customers, words that resonate with goals and struggles that are already in their brains. When you talk about your product, a lightbulb in their heads switches on that says, “That is EXACTLY what I’m looking for” —  they feel like you’ve read their minds.

I myself didn’t realize until I jumped the wall from operator to VC and saw hundreds of early-stage companies, but now it’s clear as day: language/market fit is the most under-appreciated concept for early-stage startups.

For starters, most founders are focused on finding product/market fit, zeroing in on the right set of features to match their prospects’ needs. Moreover, fine-tuning language seems like "marketing," which is usually seen as a later priority, not step zero. Lastly, people also don't tend to like going out of their comfort zone — and for technical founders especially, this work usually is. 

Yet there are real costs to not prioritizing this deeper work. Before language/market fit, growth feels like pushing on a string, a lot of work for incremental gains. Your Facebook ads barely pay for themselves and your AdWords don’t. Your marketers struggle to deliver results despite success with previous companies. Your salespeople (other than your founder) struggle to sell your product. And your conversion rates hover between 0.5% and 3%.

On the other side, I’ve seen companies with language/market fit normally get conversion rates from 8% - 40%, which results in much stronger unit economics. Why the sudden jump? Visitors to your site or app store listing bring different levels of intent. It’s easy to convert high-intent users. But if you’re an unfamiliar startup, most of your visitors will have low intent, more curious than desperate. As you tighten up your language, you’ll be able to cut through to that massive pool of low-intent traffic.]]></description>

Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

Some things about living still weren't quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron's fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.

It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn't think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.

George and Hazel were watching television. There were tears on Hazel's cheeks, but she'd forgotten for the moment what they were about.

He sat in the chair with his sword, they pulled the switch, and his hair stood up. He reached out with his sword and touched everyone in the front row, boys and girls, men and women, with the electricity that sizzled from the sword. When he came to me, he touched me on the brow, and on the nose, and on the chin, and he said to me, in a whisper, “Live forever.” And I decided to."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I'm fascinated by interesting memos written for an internal audience - a company, a campaign or even for the President. Raw, not smoothened over for PR departments, they help shed light on how people really think inside institutions.
These are challenging to find. They typically seem to come into the public domain in one of three ways: through being really old, being part of some lawsuit/legal process or, sadly, being part of a hack.

Each of the below are 'interesting' which I define broadly as either the impact they had, the quality of their writing or just helping shed light on how communication works in a different domain."]]></description>

It is born out of some frustration I had when reading tutorials and other books. I would frequently be familiar with one part of the source material, but have no way to skip it and only read the parts I was unfamiliar with. I thought that HTML was too powerful for this to not be a thing, so I spent a few minutes writing up a simple prototype implementation."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[That is awesome. Also, that is insane. I think it might be the Esperanto of fonts…﻿

Thinking about this more, it is unlikely that letters evolved to their optimum shapes. However, there's a 2nd, possibly bigger, problem—that the phonetics are also poorly matched to their letter representations.

To do this right, you'd need to identify the basic building blocks of phonemes and represent them visually. And that would be built upon yet another premise, namely that English phonemes make sense.﻿]]></description>

    <dc:creator>earth2marsh</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[So I wish more people were making tools for a specific creative purpose rather than for general consumer adoption. I wish more people were making tools that very intentionally do not scale—tools with users by the dozen. Tools you experience not through a web signup form, but through pathbreaking creative work.<br />
I guess I want fewer aspirational Apples and more Pixar wannabes.<br />
Bless the toolmakers. I’m definitely not complaining here, just thinking out loud, and wondering about this kind of person, the way you might wonder about a world-class tennis player or a wandering ascetic: How can you do that? What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? It is honestly inscrutable to me.<br />
But I also wonder if there are some toolmakers out there right now who feel some of the same doubt. Carried along by the current of conventional (startup) wisdom and, of course, the promise of a great scalable payout…"]]></description>
