## 🗞️ Posts

i loved stumbling upon or I want to read again

[The Good Try Rule - LessWrong](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/MGWEztZY8GZ5im4x7/the-good-try-rule)

* So when someone says “try Vim or try Roam Research”, its a <mark style="background-color:yellow;">lazy advice;</mark>
* Instead they should have said to try Roam Research for a week and dump your thoughts without worrying about the structure or format.
* This way at least you wont be hating whatever X they suggested in the first place.
