Just wanted to share that I was proud to see you make the top page of hacker news twice at the end of 2024. Excited to see you flourish in 2025!

It was fun to meet in person and I’m looking forward to the next one — with all our toes in working order.

I’ve been thinking about taste recently (yes, in part prompted by Scott Alexander’s piece) as self-awareness about what gives us pleasure. But I’m also realizing that clearly defined taste can also act as a kind of anti-curiosity filter. Like I just assume that I’ll dislike Carli xcx as a kind of mindless, British, bubblegum pop. I genuinely dislike most of the music made by Beyonce and Taylor Swift and assumed it’s in the same category. But maybe I’m wrong.

I just downloaded the original and remix albums to my phone and about to take them for a spin on my bike … so I’ll find out soon. :)
