  • I was wrong about emails

    Earlier I had posted on my weblog about why I liked emails as a form of communication. I was so wrong.

    Emails are useful form only if the communication is: (i) pre-structured, and (ii) necessitates long-form text. In all other scenarios, you’re better off texting.

    The point of conversation is not just to share maximum context, but firstly to find the right shared context, and that requires a very fast feedback loop. This fast feedback loop is not possible in any way other than texting (apart from verbal conversation). Now that I have gotten used to texting, emails feel pathetically slow.

    For maximum context dumping and fetching, blogs, essays and books are the way to go.

  • Post forwarding

    I am typing out this text on my weblog, and when I will hit publish, it will also become a post on my linkedin account. This has two benefits. 1) I get an easily searchable and shareable copy of my social posts on my weblog. 2) I can have linkedin blocked (on both my pc and mobile) and still be able to post stuff, and maybe I can unblock it once a week to check comments. And if someone wants to reach out to me, that too is pretty easy to figure out.

    n8n being open source is cool.
