- Better to reason with experience/data than guesses
- Find the quickest path to experience
- Doing is the best kind of thinking.
- Smart people will always have good defenses of their guesses
- "Am I hearing a guess, or am I hearing direct experience?"
- We want experience
- "Thinking is a terrible way to think"
- Wording "conjecture vs guess"
- When asking what an idea is, conjecture is a lot better to use than "guess"
- Conjecture sounds a lot more polite, less aggressive
- Try to mock "real atoms" in time and space
- Role play if you need to!
- Whatever's cheapest
- 100 experiements in X time
- Better chance of success than one big project where you lose a lot
- Neutral energy is bad
- Even with bad energy you probably learned something
- "Don't guess. Learn."
- "Don't fail. Learn."
- "Failure is not an event. Failure is an attitude toward an event."
- Look for "the 10% bright spots" when you're failing/learning
- Research vs. Development
- Research is broad, timeboxed, gets you to the bright spots
- Development is deep, can take a while
