Notion was the tool that made me realize I wanted opinionated tools.

At first I was excited by all of Notion’s possibilities, but after a while I felt this was not a strength but a weakness.

We were on Notion for six months, without much enthusiasm. I switched us to Clubhouse + Stack Overflow for Teams and we’re loving it.

This looks really good. I'm looking to dive in to Clojure.

Do you recommend my first book be something like this, or something more "traditional", like O'Reilly's "Living Clojure" or "Clojure"?

Man this takes me back.

I used to play multiplayer with my little brother. If he wasn’t around, I’d just mess around with all the weapons and create apocalyptic hellscapes caked in worm guts.

A good chunk of my childhood was spent with downloadable split-screen PC games like Liero, Destruction 2, and Paintball Party. I owe a lot of memorable hours to those devs.

Pretty sure this was lifted from an episode of “Superstore”.

That's really interesting, do you mind sharing how you set it up for notes and a work log?
I use jrnl (https://jrnl.sh). I have a bookmarks journal called "bm", so I can add a new entry with notes by entering `jrnl bm` in my shell.

It supports tagging and searching, stores everything in plain text, has optional encryption, and is FOSS. I've tried a lot of the solutions in this thread and so far jrnl has been the "just right" solution for me.

Cat’s Cradle has been my favorite book of all time since I found it in high school.
Someone already said Vonnegut, so I’ll offer Kerouac.

Also, Oscar Wilde. The Picture of Dorian Gray is something beyond.

I am a huge Vonnegut fan and just read Galápagos last month. It wasn’t one of his best, but I still really enjoyed it.

Part of my enjoyment of Vonnegut comes from his writing style. I just love how he writes, no matter the story.
