Error converting content: marked is not a function
- Always to fun to find a fun expression that encapsulates a hard to explain idea so well that it turns into a meme - as in you can picture the idea in your head without a need for logical deduction. Such images bypasess the rational resistance. id:: 110fe140-c11e-4c0f-b071-cc26a0acb5b5 - This idea of working with the garage door open tells all there is tool about a 'way of working'. It just resonated, for with whom it does, that it requires no further explanation or building through concepts and abstraction. Beautiful. - I love this idea. It invites the bystanders in. It motivates the doer. Come see how's it done. When people see the process they value it more. They then understand what it takes to get the product out. - I envision using this philosophy with engineering cultures in companies. Something that @Sven G can definitely benefit from as his style is more of a closed door. - The creative process or the process of creation is exciting and interesting. Sometimes it's better than the product itself akin to tv shows where 'behind the scene' footages are more interesting to watch than the show itself. Back in 2000s there were entire shows dedicated to behind the scene footage - peek inside the creation process. - Gary Vee also talks.. preaches about this in his videos non stop. Document what you are doing and post on tik tok. *You process to create the content is the content itself.* #boom - - Sources - author: @Andy Matuschak - link: [Andy's working notes](https://notes.andymatuschak.org/About_these_notes?stackedNotes=z21cgR9K3UcQ5a7yPsj2RUim3oM2TzdBByZu) - One of my favorite ways that creative *people communicate is by “working with their garage door up,”* to riff on a *passage from Robin Sloan* (below). This is the opposite of the Twitter account which mostly posts announcements of finished work: it’s Screenshot Saturday; *it’s giving a lecture about the problems you’re pondering in the shower; it’s thinking out loud about the ways in which your project doesn’t work at all. It’s so much of Twitch. ^^I want to see the process.^^* I want to see you trim the artichoke. I want to see you choose the color palette. Anti-marketing. - **I love this kind of communication** personally, but I suspect it also *creates more invested, interesting followings over the long term*. That effect’s probably related to Working on niche, personally-meaningful projects brings weirder, more serendipitous inbounds. It’s also a way to avoid the problems described in Pitching out corrupts within. - author: @Robin Sloan - link: - I wish starting physical businesses was easier; I wish the path wasn’t so steep, especially in places like the Bay Area; because I think it’s one of the absolute best things a person can do. Among many other things, a physical business enlivens public space, by making the simple, eloquent statement: ** I am here, working.** #smb id:: 62f6f187-67a3-4b87-9a95-ec8d780d6dea - There’s a scientific glassblowing studio north of us; I walk past it on the sidewalk often. *By simply existing, and having a nice sign that faces the street, they are doing a small public service every day. We are here, working.* - In the same light industrial complex as the Murray Street Media Lab, *there’s a woodworking shop, and the man who runs it always keeps his door propped open.* Simple as that. What a delight, *every damn day, to ride my bike past that door and peek inside and see all his tools, the boards stacked up for whatever commission he’s undertaking. ^^I am here, working.^^* #istoodupreadingthis - Part of the problem of social media is that there is no equivalent to the scientific glassblowers’ sign, or the woodworker’s open door, or Dafna and Jesse’s sandwich boards. *On the internet, if you stop speaking: you disappear. And, by corollary: on the internet, you only notice the people who are speaking nonstop.* - If you could put on magic internet goggles that enabled you to see through this gnarly selection bias and view the composition of reality fairly, correctly—well, *just come walk around Emeryville and West Berkeley. It would look like that! All the tumult of Twitter would shrink into a single weird cafe—just a speck, in an enormous city made up entirely of people quietly working.*
