Daniel Miessler: uncertainty

Transcript context

…How often do you do that? It prompts me quite a bit, both on like building and coding. But yeah, anytime it's confused, it's not sure about a goal. Oh, we might want to talk about the algorithm at some point. I don't know. I can't remember if we talked about it last time, but with the algorithm where you're chasing an ideal state inside of even building an application, just a pure coding thing, if there's ambiguity, you're not chasing the proper ideal state and you can't turn it into discrete, testable criteria. So yeah, the interview is just essential for that. So put a pin in that one. I'll come back to you. I'll I can tell you how how it's changed my life. Maybe next time we talk. I'd say in contrast to that and it I wouldn't say it, it's still been effective for me. But you know, sensing something left on the table there for sure. But what I've typically done over the last few months is really just sit down and be like in my gut, what can I advance today or like what's kind of slowing me down? You know, what would I love to be able to just, you know, do from my phone? I guess one I one ideal state that I've articulated a few times is less time on my computer, more exercise, more time outside. That would be a clear win. So.…
