Nov 27 @Noahpinion @noahpinion this is an insightful thread, thank you. Are there data available on increases in incidents like Evergreen & Reed? Cc @primalpoly. Is it fair to say the availability heuristic is as relevant for your opinion as it is for others? If not, why not? 0 0 0 0 273 .
Nov 26 @MartinRavallion Correct link is https://t.co/TnKC7jgxKX 1 0 0 0 56 .
Nov 26 @Sirupsen wanted to thank you for this: https://t.co/dMtyc9LZ6a . Infinitely useful for building MVPs, much appreciated 🙌 0 0 0 0 121 .
Nov 24 @devonzuegel This seems relevant here: https://t.co/zpYEA6SaBY 1 0 0 0 62 .
Nov 15 @s8mb @sebinsua Good list! Was surprised at overall theme of cost-minimisation vs value-maximisation. For me, nothing has given as much time back and removed as many headaches as having a fast, reliable laptop. https://t.co/LtNQxrMKSQ 0 0 0 0 235 .
Nov 14 @JohnONolan @GitBookIO Very similar. Docsify - edit your markdown files in any text editor. Gitbook - edit in gitbook native app. Hackmd - edit in browser (see book mode) https://t.co/yeV8aUMfu1 1 0 0 0 194 .
Nov 14 @JohnONolan @GitBookIO Hackmd.io is a similar product I've found suits our purposes better. Docsify also works well for self hosted stuff with version control 1 1 0 0 158 .
Nov 12 @HPluckrose I've also always been confused by this in secular people. Seems to me to stem from unrecognised dualism. If there are souls queueing up waiting to be born, it would hold. If not, not sure how it does. 0 0 0 0 212 .

Nov 08 The disciplines of Designing, Programming & Writing have a lot in common. The best practitioners split their time roughly: 40% human behaviour/cognitive empathy 40% thinking clearly 20% learning tooling & creating output Realising and emulating this can be game changing 7 0 0 0 282 .

Oct 14 The next time you terminate a thought at “You can’t please everyone”, consider attempting to, and how it might improve the outcome. 1 0 0 0 131 .
Oct 14 But using that as a justification for not engaging in the exercise is mostly lazy. 2 0 0 0 82 .
Oct 14 Of course, practically speaking, it's true in most cases. It’s rare that you will have a scenario where you will please everyone. 2 0 0 0 129 .
Oct 14 In my opinion, in a globalised, relatively unstable society, cognitive empathy is one of the strongest forces for good. 4 0 0 0 119 .
Oct 14 Adopting a habit of attempting to please everyone is one of the most effective toolkits for driving cognitive empathy. https://t.co/wJQAflgNhk 2 0 0 0 142 .
Oct 14 The most common interpretation of it is “You can’t please everyone, so don’t bother trying”. Which I think is most of the time, bad advice. 4 0 0 0 139 .
Oct 14 The phrase “You can’t please everyone” and the sentiment behind it seems widely accepted and rarely critiqued. 4 0 0 0 110 .

May 07 @shaunau and the islands are obviously 😍. Just avoid road trips on busy weekends 0 0 0 0 80 .
May 07 @shaunau nearly two years. Manila is effectively 15 mini cities, connected by clogged highways. BGC(Taguig) is remarkably comfortable 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan sure. My point is - internet is not non existant here. 0 0 0 0 85 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan question is whether the destination warrants the odd connection headache. As a 2 yr local I would say yes 0 0 0 0 136 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan that said, if expectation is same as other more developed destinations you will be disappointed 0 0 0 0 126 .

May 06 TL;DR @twitter @design @jack listen to this guy and do this 🙏https://t.co/4wf117A1ho 2 2 0 0 84 .
May 06 The irony is that I’ve never tweetstormed because I don’t want to clog up people’s feeds. This solution would solve that 0 0 0 0 120 .
May 06 Bitesizing isn't a new idea. Twitter popularised it but others have built on it. E.g. Medium Series - https://t.co/Cp15Rn1Xd0 1 0 0 0 125 .
May 06 This educational value mainly goes unnoticed because of the context in which it appears. See also: Youtube videos. 0 0 0 0 114 .
May 06 A good tweetstorm can be read *and comprehended* in under a minute. Often it’s educational density is akin to reading a short book. 0 0 0 0 131 .
May 06 And because each point is read and consumed separately, the larger idea is much more easily digestible. 0 0 0 0 103 .
May 06 The format forces you to examine every link in a chain of thought - something long-form content complicates. 0 0 0 0 108 .
May 06 I just open my notepad and jot away. It doesn’t feel like I’m writing a piece, just a few tweets. But there are also other positives: 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 06 Because of this I would say I’ve spent more time writing/exploring ideas since joining twitter. 0 0 0 0 95 .
May 06 Writing is in itself enlightening, and tweet format encourages it for one oft-overlooked reason: Low perceived-effort to get started. 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 06 Like as a new idea or concept I’d been considering crystallises, I’ll either run through it internally or write it down in 1 sentence chunks 0 0 0 0 140 .
May 06 The more time I spend on twitter, the more I think and write in tweet form. Which is a bit scary but seems ultimately positive. 1 0 0 0 127 .
May 06 This is a remarkably simple but well thought out solution to "Should Twitter increase the character limit?" https://t.co/4wf117A1ho 4 0 0 0 131 .
May 05 @levelsio @x3nome that wasn't fun-poking btw. I do believe you, hence my initial surprise 0 0 0 0 89 .
May 05 @levelsio @x3nome 😂 that level of stealth is impressive. I'm a little scared to engage now in case they come for me too 0 0 0 0 119 .
May 05 @x3nome @levelsio I was actually surprised at how civil that thread was, despite the odd bit of snark. 0 0 0 0 102 .
