Watched a bit of @poteto + team on the Grok Bot stream today. Surprised by how normal the work is, but faster. So many micro judgements and steps that weren't automated. You could pause at many moments and be like "wait why that?" and it would lead to an interesting discussion. Related

The best thing you learn in consulting is how work gets done at every layer of an org, the different types of communication (and how to translate between them), and then how dramatically different industries work Quoting @VinIyengar A lot of VCs (myself included) used to shit on the ex-banker/consultant founder archetype.

I definitely appreciate how many authors use their book primarily as a calling card to sell their speaking and consulting. I just don’t want to focus on those ancillary businesses, as I’m viewing my books mostly through the lens of a teacher who wants to affect change in the greatest number of people possible. I do worry about my ability to reach mass numbers of people with carefully crafted sequencing that actually changes beliefs and behavior. Related

Design engineer; formerly at Linear and Vercel; author of Sonner and Vaul; teaches animations.dev.
One of my favorite details of Sonner: By default the toast disappears after 4 seconds unless you hover over it. But what if a toast is triggered and the user switches to a different tab? 4 seconds would pass and the toast would never be seen. That’s why there’s a `useIsDocumentHidden` hook that checks if the document (tab) is hidden, and if so, it will pause the timer. This can be done with the "visibilitychange" event listener on the document. A small detail that improves the experience. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
