Musings

Notes, fragments and things worth returning to.

  1. 01Leave yourself a shotPosition play in the games of pool and life, and why the best move often isn’t the one that looks best right now.
  2. 02I keep coming back to leverageWhy the ideas that hold my attention tend to make one person, one team, or one resource dramatically more capable.
  3. 03Useful beats impressiveA recurring lesson from products, engineering and business: sophistication has no inherent value.
  4. 04Project Solar: (My Thoughts on) Building Around Nigeria’s Broken Relationship with ElectricityI have spent a lot of time thinking about electricity in Nigeria, because unreliable power becomes impossible to ignore when trying to build a life and do serious work here.
  5. 05A functional depressionThis won’t feel complete, and is unlikely to even feel coherent. I’ll write it in one pass: no edits, zero polish, no take-backs.
