Googled this guy to look into his background. Time-in-chair is definitely something he's got an edge on over the average person

Yep, I'm not sure Blow is the person I would take productivity advice from, to put it mildly.

I don't know about you, but he's shipped more than most people on here have done. I guess two award winning games and a programming language is not good enough for some of you.

Or are you trying to say he is too successful to take any advice on success from?

And Chris Roberts shipped 4-5 successful games. Would you take productivity or project management advice from him, now?

Background: He is wheelchair-bound.

That’s not true. He lives in SF and enjoys going out dancing.

I apologize if that was wrong, but this article on wired.com mentions that he is “confined to a wheelchair by a rare muscular disease”. https://www.wired.com/2010/12/mf-spotify/

There is no mention of the word Blow in your link. Are you an LLM that is hallucinating?

EDIT: "Ludvig Strigeus is wheelchair bound." Did you miss that the quote you were replying to is from Jonathan Blow, not Strigeus? FWIW, you still have not passed the Turing test, as you got confused by tangentially related inputs ;)

I accidentially hit the reply button on a reply of the post I was actually referring to. Parent was about Strigeus. Besides: Since every mid-sized LLM appears to pass the test I’m not even trying anymore.
