Hey all, trying out a Sunday installment of the newsletter.
Share any good articles you’ve read in the past week.
It could be about product, tech, business, life, or anything really.

I LOVE this blog post by Scott Young -- he basically talks about the difference between "Doing The Real Thing" and not.
For ex: Building a web app is doing the real thing. Watching coding tutorials all day is not.
It's a game-changer.
Lol.. As i was reading this, it felt all those fake activities i have done in the past, came forward and punched in the face.
Dude sameee lol
It's a rude awakening, but much needed.
One of the best essays I have read in a while "The Four Quadrants of Conformism" by paulg http://paulgraham.com/conformism.html
Oo, haven't read that yet. Thanks for the rec Tony!
I came accross 3 greats ressources this week:
• [Video] How to Win by Daniel Gross: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH1bewTg-P4
• [Podcast] Peter Reinhardt on Finding Product Market Fit at Segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-vfn97QTr0
• [Article] The Adjacent User Theory: https://andrewchen.co/the-adjacent-user-theory/
https://nabeelqu.co/understanding
I also LOVE this blog post I found on Hacker News.
The author explains what encompases "true understanding" of a subject. And the author provides characteristics & tips you can use to help you understand anything.
Really good stuff
Great article! Brings to mind concepts of "overlearning" and gnosticism (knowing through direct-experience?):

I read another article by the same author last week (and have been experimenting with "game loops" ):
https://nabeelqu.co/education
Otherwise:
Do not remain nameless to yourself
