The more I think about the human ability to find whatever we go looking for, the more it seems like real magic

This new feature is already making me think disconcerting new thoughts about how well I'm using my precious weekend study hours

New experimental feature: ⚡️ Track and view the insights you're gaining from learning resources, alongside the time you're spending studying them.

I track my study time carefully but keep falling into the "more time is better" trap (risking burnout/wasted time). Would something like "insights per hour" be more important...? 🤔 Will add a feature for this to @curriculum_app and see if it helps

There's a physical feeling that accompanies any significant context switch, I swear. Such an effort.
Huh. Feeling your feelings only takes 4-7 seconds? Seems subjectively longer for sure

Can a morning person learn ANYTHING after 1pm? I feel like no

Agree - even if you're as bad at posting as me you can still: 1. use searches to find jobs/employers/inspirational peeps 2. curate your feed (culling/muting as required*) so a quick scan once or twice a week yields good info * maybe use lists to help fight the algo

Being good at Twitter gives you an unfair advantage in the early stages of your career.

I have found good companies & jobs & a great recruiter by keeping an eye on this weird little social media platform over the years

Most importantly, I find memes and reaction gifs to share with my fortunate friends

I only work a 4-day week and it still takes me til Sunday to remember who I am

Had to literally work with the plane and its vectors in a 2D composition to get them aligned for this (and then work in 3D to align the plane with point r) ... Basically, After Effects' weirdness added unexpected clarity to my thinking about this stuff 🙏
