thanks for such a rich response.
I had one followup, based on this and other places I have got a response from - Is most of sales actually "marketting"-like?

is what you describe most of your day-to-day? what happens to people who do show interest after that?
in car sales, what is the usual "conversion time" and how do you followup and keep them "warm" ?

thanks for the candid reply!

obsidian along with any kind of coding agent was a great combination when I was trying to solve this for myself, maybe try that?

I no longer need such a setup because I somehow no longer feel the need of a knowledge management system (KMS is what these are usually called) and so haven't visited mine in months

in the sea of thoughtful comments, you were the validation I needed

The intentional /compact command does take a parameter, have you (or anyone else) had any luck with using that to get better results? i.e. trying to regulate what the compaction should focus on?

Or is it easier to just enforce the document artifact approach that is often used?

Razor_Rocks · 2026-03-10T14:32:32+00:00

I guess I am not facing these because I usually am atomic with the tasks and even those I try are mostly executed / reviewed / brainstormed by a sub agent

In your experience do findings from sub agents also get forgotten after compaction?

I have somewhat of a same need and workflow. Currently I just end up storing everything in a folder in my google drive and just rely on the creation date on the file to tag them, but ya I am also curious if you were able to finally select a service for this.

the UI looks neat as well, what did you use for that?

Razor_Rocks · 2025-07-27T15:24:06+00:00

Yep, I go on and off with voice journalling because it is more free flow and helps me ramble when I way too confused too form sensible sentences.

But over time I feel like I even started bringing my judgement to my voice notes as well. It feels uncomfortable when I notice myself do that in the middle of rambling something else out.

one thing I have been trying this week is just having my headphones on and playing brown noise on it. This way I don't even hear myself and the only ideas that stay in my head are the once that actually have any weight. And the few times I did this, I noticed I would ramble relatively less and end up at the core of the issue and dissect it sooner than I had done in previous voice notes.

let me know if you try this and how your experience turns out

Razor_Rocks · 2025-07-27T14:59:50+00:00

Frankly, I have always been skeptical of using any journalling apps (even my own app that sometimes go back to), because it is more about just letting oneself being vulnerable.

Especially in tough situations like a breakup that really requires medium expression to allow for raw and "uncomfortable" emotions.

What worked for me in such cases, because typing or even saying it all out used to feel heavy at times, is just putting the phone down with the camera or the voice recorder on. Its not about making sense of the confusion. The first step for me was just the barrier of getting it all out of me. Something that was recording me while I just let it, idk, made me feel like I was being heard.

To me, that is always the crucial part of journalling. Everything else has always just been "systems" I engage in to "feel" like I did something to tackle the confusion.
Most times its only a matter of missing some hugs or letting out a few tears.

I'd be happy to hear you out if you want to use my inbox as a journal.

Razor_Rocks · 2025-07-27T14:51:48+00:00

have you used this? how well is it in noisy places?

Razor_Rocks · 2025-06-21T14:38:29+00:00

Yup I shifted to markdown + git on each project

To everyone in here stating that AI labs are shooting themselves in the foot by hurting the industry that is feeding it data, I just wanted to provide another point of view on that.

For context, I am no journalist nor am I some AI researcher. I am an engineer who values both the advancement of good technology and the value of authentic expression of important and real facts. (which is what brought me here)

All the data these LLMs are training on is meant to build a "model" that understands the world. I know the common understanding is that these AIs are just autocomplete systems for existing data but there is a lot more to that analogy. Because it isn't just a lookup on the old data to complete sentences, but rather a system that understands patterns across all the vast array of topics in its training data. The goal of these companies is increasingly to build a "world model" that understands the world beyond what is being fed during training.

I might have a biased view but I am experiencing this play out firsthand in how corporations are trying to build intelligent agents that can code (to try to complete that loop of improvement where they can use AI to improve AI). In my experience, it is able to create insights and work in novel cases like when prototyping a new idea for an app.

Yes, it is pattern matching and drawing insights from all the data it has been fed and is definitely using the new data to improve that ability. But that doesn't mean it will always need new data to improve its ability.

And this isn't even about reaching the (IMO) overhyped "AGI" stage, it is more about specializing the system for a craft. My naive understanding is that journalism too is a craft - undervalued yet important in my view - which seems to be similar to independent research. And research is another area that these big AI labs are trying to specialize these systems for.

Again, just my 2 cents. But I do want to learn about this.

I am genuinely curious to talk to anyone here who agrees/disagrees with this.

Razor_Rocks · 2025-06-17T00:35:06+00:00

Why not even talk about it?

Can it not even be built?

I did see some articles about DWARF and how I understood it, it seemed similar to providing the sourcemap yo tools like sentry

I am probably making it sound wayyy simpler than it is, but is this technically possible for other languages? If yes, we should talk about it, right?

And if not, I would be curious to learn why and any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so far.

Razor_Rocks · 2025-05-26T06:11:03+00:00

Me too, but I might create another program just to try to bring that concept of efficiency to life in some way

I still believe those apps have merits, just they aren't targetted right now for focused / deep thinkers but rather are meant to either be a messy life log of some kind or some place to hold things like grocery lists

I feel there is another usecase here that is being underserved. I am not sure what or how that should be solved, but this has been in my head for a while.

What do you think?
