Not as many links this time, but good ones nonetheless:
Frame of Preference, A history of Mac settings, 1984–2004 — lots of different classic MacOS emulators running on a web page. Really fun.
You Have to Feel it — metrics don’t capture the feeling — they don’t!
The Paradox of India — “develop comfort with unresolved multiplicity”
The Future is NOT Self-Hosted — a self-hosting story culminating with a desire for community hosting
Declaration of Independence — the authors must have really put some thought into this
A Game of Thoughts — deep insights about the creative process and thinking in general
How to write a good design document — how to write very clearly
I’ve also been watching a fair number of Steve Jobs interviews and listened to an Elon Musk Founders podcast. I recommend it. They both had a hyper-focus on simplicity / removing complexity.
I’ve decided to start reading biographies as well. I’m starting with Haruki Murakami’s, lovely writing so far.
Wishing y’all a good end of summer, talk to you in the fall.
