For the last episode of Getting Simple, I had the chance to talk to Microsoft's Adam Menges, former employee at Apple and founder at Lobe.ai, a company that helps people build intelligence into their apps by making it simple and understandable.

Tune in to discover Adam's unconventional education and career, the beginnings of Lobe, why he strives to have death present in his day-to-day, and his life hacks and daily routines, including custom-made clothing, note-taking and file-management workflows, meditation, and much more.

In case you enjoy this video and are curious, many of my edited sketches live at https://sketch.nono.ma. =)

Would love to hear any thoughts you might have on this tiny essay. =)

Hi, Paul.

Thanks for your comment!

"Ideas" serves as a generic term for stories and writing, sketching and drawing, projects, or virtually any type of work output.

It's through actual doing and practice that you get better. (And specifically if you're working on the areas that are hard and you need improvement. It's not enough to continue doing what you already know how to do, over and over.)

The executing part, as you mention, is key. It's not just about thinking what you could do but about doing and practicing.

Here's a short post explaining why I write and share sketches, and what happened with my flagged post a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23290410).

A similar model is #HouseGAN done by researchers Nelson Nauata & Chin-Yi Cheng at Autodesk Research in 2019.

I'll release a Getting Simple episode with an extended audio version of this story. =)

Thanks @petercooper, @lev272 also recommended her and I'm loving her work.

Looks super cool. Thanks for sharing I'll take a deep look at these.

Wow, this is such a good recommendation. And they're already in booklet PDF format — ready for printing. Huge thanks Lev, I'll definitely print some of these. Feel like I've got a lot to learn from what's on them (e.g., https://jvns.ca/strace-zine-v3-print.pdf).

Hey, this unsolicited feedback is great — so much that I already implemented an arrow to signal there's content, can be clicked, and disappears as soon as you scroll down.

Thanks a lot for this comment, really.

Here's a demo GIF:

(You can also go to the home page again and do a hard script refresh, CMD + SHIFT + R on macOS Chrome.)

Haha! Took a look at some of these and I love it. Thanks for sharing have been thinking of offering some format in which people can directly print the content themselves.

So glad to hear!

This is awesome Peter – thanks for sharing!

Anyone else thought of Dropbox Paper when they saw the landing page?

Ever seen this box? https://sketch.nono.ma/img/u/sketch-190718-malaga-panaderos-...

Click. It's made out of cardboard. Click. It's sealed with blue tape. Click. There are 3 items in your cart. Click. Your order has been placed.

Amazon is making us lazy. Set a default delivery address and credit card on file, and you can place an order with one click.

With more than 600,000 employees, Amazon has crafted an online experience so convenient as to become the standard method to buy virtually anything for many people all over the world.

You might receive your package faster than they initially said, and returning what you bought has never been easier.

Without shipping costs, the thrill of going to the store to buy the things you love rapidly fades away, replaced by a virtual, addictive shopping experience while wearing your best pajamas.

Ding. The bell rings. You've got an Amazon package.

I just received this message prompting me to "Update now."

Release notes of 4.4.53932.0709:

## Remove local web server

- We are discontinuing the use of a local web server on Mac devices. Following the update, the local web server will be completely removed from the Zoom installation Option to uninstall Zoom

- Zoom users can now uninstall the Zoom desktop application and all of its components through the settings menu

Actually, that might be the reason why it's named this way.

Any other good Git tips you may have?
