Coordination.md

··· 12 12 - [[Governance]] technologies (voting, shares, decision markets...). 13 13 - Groups either coordinate around principles, coordinate around a task (powerful but temporary), or coordinate around a leader. 14 14 - Principles are factories of tasks and more resilient than leaders. 15 - - [Keep the work parallel, the groups small, and the resources local.](https://codahale.com/work-is-work/) If possible, factor work products into independent modules; if not, grow slowly and optimize. 15 + - [Keep the work parallel, the groups small, and the resources local.](http://web.archive.org/web/20250719100829/https://codahale.com/work-is-work/) If possible, factor work products into independent modules; if not, grow slowly and optimize. 16 16 - Trust increases coordination.

Should be possible to create a prompt that returns some plot ideas and another that takes that and write the Vega-Lite code to make it work. 11 11 - Make it easy to query the data via Natural Language. 12 - - Let me transform them with SQL ([DuckDB](https://duckdb.org/)) and Python ([JupyterLite](https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)).

Mindfulness.md

··· 26 26 - Don't punish people for trying. You teach them to not try things or not to try them with you. 27 27 - Most of the harm we do as humans is not due to cruelty, but rather to indifference. 28 28 - Prefer delayed gratification, making short term sacrifices to get long term benefits. 29 - - Don't be a [whatever person](https://medium.com/@courtneyseiter/the-tribe-of-whatever-or-how-i-learned-to-make-a-decision-8ab0a76f1f0c#.vj7olnmm5).

Don't be afraid to [[Making Decisions|make decisions]] and actively take them! All decision making — even if small ones — can be a good practice for the bigger ones you'll face. 30 30 - Be the friend who makes a decisive call when everyone else is waffling about what to eat. 31 31 - Don't judge. Reality is neutral. To a tree, there's no concept of right or wrong or good or bad. You're born, you have a whole set of sensory experiences... and then you die. How you choose to interpret that is up to you. And you do have that choice. Why are you taking something so seriously? 32 32 - One person morally disgusting behavior is another person perfectly normal lifestyle. Most of the time you can't decide what is wrong or good because you have very limited experiences.

Network Effects.md

··· 4 4 5 5 [Network effects occur when the value of a product or service is subject to the number of users. A positive network effect means that a product or service becomes more valuable to its users as more people use it.](https://julian.digital/2021/12/20/the-power-of-defaults/) 6 6 7 - Network [diffusion](https://meltingasphalt.com/interactive/going-critical/) is the way things move and spread, somewhat chaotically, across a network.

Programming.md

··· 59 59 - **The sum of the parts is greater than the whole**. 60 60 - A large application built from a collection of smaller programs is more flexible and hence more useful than a single large program. 61 61 - The same functional capability may exist in both solutions, but the collection-of-small-programs approach is the more forward-looking of the two. 62 - - [The computer is a machine, but a codebase is an organism](https://meltingasphalt.com/a-codebase-is-an-organism/). The organic nature of code manifests itself in the dual forces of growth and decay. It also suggests that you should know your code smells. These smells won't be causing problems during execution, on the machine. Instead, it's going to cause problems during [[Evolution]] of the codebase. 62 + - [The computer is a machine, but a codebase is an organism](http://web.archive.org/web/20240525224151/https://meltingasphalt.com/a-codebase-is-an-organism/).

[Don't focus on perfection](https://youtu.be/pYIho556BS8). 65 65 - Focusing in the 80% is far more efficient and cost-effective. "Better" is the enemy of "good".

Thinking.md

··· 13 13 - Run your brain in debug mode so you understand why you're thinking in that way. The brain hasn't changed that much in the last few thousands years and was built for a different world. 14 14 - Believing you're rational makes it easier to fool yourself mistaking your intuitions with rational decision. 15 15 - Stress test your ideas/assumptions/beliefs with experiments and facts as many times as possible. 16 - - Anything you know or do could be wrong. You get less dumb by saying things and getting feedback. [We all have crony beliefs](https://meltingasphalt.com/crony-beliefs/). From time to time, do a self-audit and figure out which ideas you've come to hold sacred and remind yourself that they're just ideas. 16 + - Anything you know or do could be wrong.

From time to time, do a self-audit and figure out which ideas you've come to hold sacred and remind yourself that they're just ideas. 17 17 - Many beliefs are held because there is a social and tribal benefit to holding them, not necessarily because they're true. 18 18 - A great way to do that is to [bet on everything](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ybYBCK9D7MZCcdArB/how-to-measure-anything) where you can or will find out the answer. Even if you're only testing yourself against one other person, it's a way of calibrating yourself to avoid both overconfidence and under-confidence, which will serve you in good stead emotionally when you try to do [[Fallacies|inadequacy reasoning]]. It'll also force you to do falsifiable predictions. 19 19 - A tool to assign a percentage to a belief is [the equivalent bet test](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/EtxTDPMXrbmpheiAt/how-the-equivalent-bet-test-actually-works).
