I guess @rrobukef means if you flip A and B repeatedly, they just swap positions and reverse orientation each time.

But if you flip A and B, then B and C, then A and C, you get B and C to swap positions without changing their orientations.

Heck, I've got code I wrote ten years ago and no idea why it was done that way except for a vague memory of a request that I implemented but was never really used.

Thank you for simplifying the "repair" process to long press. That's amazingly helpful for me to think about ways to create a minimum viable product.

My first entry was like "Welcome to thunderrabbit's journal! Today is April 11, 1987 and I just had a fun experience that I want to remember..."

Journaling off and on since 1987, I have a few rules for myself when journaling:

1. Write the time, day of week, date, month, and year for every entry.

2. Don't worry about lapses in writing. Just write a new entry when I can.

3. Allow my topics to be spontaneous. I sometimes have a structure I'd like to use, but allow freedom in any moment.

4. Relish mistakes, smears, stains on the paper by labeling them, e.g. "tea stain while studying with Akane" (real example!)

5. Just enjoy the process of writing.

For human-written papers, we have the peer review process to spot errors. I wonder if an equivalent could be implemented for AI.

I've also been asking long form questions, including links to my research sources (especially our internal documentation), explaining my reasons for making certain assumptions, etc.

This helps future me easily find answers to the same questions when I end up having them again, and can eventually serve as documentation when even newer people come into the company.

I've also been taking exquisite notes (online, so searchable), including the same type of long-form links so that even if I have to leave a task for a month, future me can come back to it and pick up the thread immediately.

Taking these notes does slow me down a bit in the short run but I find it is invaluable in the long run.

Yes it works well for that! I used ChatGPT recently to write a quick code snippet that turned out better than what I found on SO or could have written myself 50X slower.

While the most visible consequence is the inability to provide for one’s needs, including future needs, underearning is also about the inability to fully acknowledge and express our capabilities and competencies. It is about underachieving, or under-being, no matter how much money we make.

For me there's a horizontal slider in bottom middle of the screen which controls the auto-scrolling speed.
