edit: the motorcycle!!
there's no point in thinking of something that you've forgotten about again you've gotten to your list because you forget most of the shit you think about
i always think of the mitch hedberg line about joke writing
Strangely enough so does the BMW, just in a different way
Dogs are better than motorbikes, it's true
Wow yeah it does
That looks amazing, I love the angles.
Dog probably won't get a walk till after our work out at 5:30 then.

The tech boom in a nutshell
This is stressed to me a lot by the time management book I try to follow. Yet I find having a pad and pencil near me at all times was.. well, I wouldn't use it like I should. My phone isn't great for it either because I hate typing on that keyboard. I use Obsidian on my work PC, but I haven't tried just adding a generic task list to it before now.
... He was evil, and I blew him up.
They're all good chats
Help I can’t agree with this meme hard enough right now.
i guess my input here wrt to the phone is "get over it"
you shouldn't need to type much for a to do list, a sentence or two
maybe try something like simplenotes that'll sync between windows and your phone if you want to actually do a proper writeup when you get to a keyboard but you're overthinking it if the ergonomics of typing on a phone is interfering with your list making
Oh no, ego-death!
I recognize this. Like what I think I'm really trying to do is build a backlog, then decide what to work on from that. Getting over it is the story of my life.
Yes!! And I love it!

its incredibly basic and i love it
Now its mostly using our jira board for big things, and then notes.
Writing things is how I remember to do them anyway.
Some of the writing feels stilted and formulaic but handing it over to an LLM would be a disaster for us because bypassing the writing process would cause us to bypass *thinking*, and we would make worse decisions as a result.
I have found chatGPT useful in trying to figure out certain technologies, like when I just needed to ask it so many questions about certain optical techniques cause I was starting from zero there and all the reviews I was reading were either too technical or skimmed over the details and focused on applications. However my role as a writer was not to summarize the technique, it was to make a recommendation about which parts of a novel program were good and feasible and which parts were risky (but ok) and risky (but bad and should be changed). An LLM might be able to make that recommendation but I don’t think we wish to let it make that recommendation and it obviously wouldn’t reflect our personal idiosyncratic priorities, which is what we are being asked as experts to bring to the table
(relatedly NIH people have been asked not to use LLMs in reviews lol)
That’s what I’ve been using for more than a decade at this point, and I’ll only stop if they shut it down.
I will only use jira for this shit when forced and cornered in a planning meeting.
