Ongoing thread of: Why am I working on mmm.page?

🎶 We have polished, optimized, & standardized the life out of the internet, & it doesn’t feel quite as fun and alive anymore. A kind of nowhere-suburbification. 🎶

I'm not having as much fun here anymore.

At this point, I'm working under heightened assumption of "If you've ever used Claude Code/Codex, even once, with internet access, your computer's likely compromised"

In a few months/year, if new cybersecurity best practices emerge, I'll wipe my laptop + start over

There's a perfect time to publish writing when it's clarified but still fresh to you, & not yet so edited/internalized that you find it banal

The secret IMO is to sit on ideas, then [ write + publish same-day in the editor (tweet, substack, etc) that it'll be published in ]

Underrated reason to work fast: can finish more things before interest wanes. (Applies to both individual and organizational interest.)

Example: most posts on my personal blog were written in one day. Let ideas ripen gradually, and then harvest intensely at the right moment.
