Simon Willison’s blog: https://simonwillison.net/ . How the heck does he have time to post all that amazing stuff, AND be coding open-source, AND have some kind of day job? My god, I wish I were that productive.

The answer is almost always personal support / personal assistants.

There are for sure ways to increase your own personal productivity on its own, but the extra kick is usually from in-house cooks, cleaners, shoppers, schedulers, stylists, PAs, etc.

These people may or may not be spouses, family, friends and so on.

(This is a general response, I do not know Simon Willison or any of his work or life.)

I’m enjoying Citation Needed by Molly White for its coverage of the crypto world: https://www.citationneeded.news

Serious question, how do you follow crypto news and not get kinda depressed about it? I find the concept(s) and tech interesting, but crypto news is so full of drama and horrible people / acts it's hard to enjoy for me.

No skin in the game?

I say that because reading about crypto doesn't depress me at all.

Oh, it feels somewhat unfair, but I wrote a blog from 2019-2020, I think I should share it: https://2coffee.dev/en
