Mark mentions that he got this point from Ben Pace. A few months ago I heard the extended version from Ben, and what I really want is for Ben to write a post (or maybe a whole sequence) on it. But in the meantime, it’s an important idea, and this short post is the best source to link to on it.
I’m curious what you feels missing from this post such that it doesn’t just convey everything important about the concept? (I’ve heard Ben talk about it a bit and didn’t feel a strong sense that anything was missing here)
A lot of useful techniques can be viewed as ways to “get the first sample” in some sense. Fermi estimates are one example. Attempting to code something in Python is another.
(I’m not going to explain that properly here. Consider it a hook for a future post.)
