Yeah, I get these impression as well. One perspective that might help is “thinking in public”.
Ie. when you write some sort of shortform content (blog post, LW shortform, social media, whatever), it’s not a finished product. It’s just you working through things, and making that process visible to others. Maybe they’ll find it useful. Or inspiring. Or informative. Maybe they’ll have good feedback. Maybe it’ll lead to interesting conversations. Or collaborations.
Another perspective is, consider sitting at a coffee shop with a friend and telling them about something you’ve been thinking about recently. If such thoughts are good enough to tell a friend, I think they’re also good enough to post on the internet.
Then again, this is based on the premise that the goal is “publish something every day”. I don’t think I understand why that is the goal in the first place, so maybe my proposal isn’t actually a good way to hit at the supergoal.
