dsgnr··on Self-teaching, spaced repetition, and why books don't work
Yeah med students seem to be unique in the amount of stuff they need to remember, at least in terms of users Ive worked with. The amount of things medical students need to memorize to pass their USMLE exams is insane. I designed and built a learning tool at a startup for med students using picture mnenomics and spaced repetition quizzing that seriously helped those students and lead to the startup being acquired.

dsgnr··on Reality Labs has lost $11.4B during 2023 (there's still one quarter left)
Seems more objective to me in that the quest has shitty software beyond one or two games. One or two games wont carry a platform very long regardless of marketing. Shitty software hurts the hardware most.

dsgnr··on Show HN: A better way to read blogs

I was a big reddit user, with 2 small subreddits I started and managed, and I abandoned things and havent gone back.

dsgnr··on Atlassian, Airbnb Boost Remote Work as Peers Order Office Return
Anecdote: I work with multiple enterprise clients and the teams that are in-office are way more inept. They are always late to meetings, meetings run over, and everyone interrupts and just babbles on about nonsense wasting time and energy. Its so obviously unproductive its insane. Ill keep billing hours but in office is so dumb from my perspective.
