Problems Sublime Solves—at Least for Me

Austin Kleon said,

Creativity is about connections, and connections are not made by siloing everything off into its own space. New ideas are formed by interesting juxtapositions, and interesting juxtapositions happen when things are out of place.

When I’m writing in Google Docs, any time I get stuck with a concept, I can select a sentence, press “CTRL” + “R”, and Sublime’s browser extension (available in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Arc) will pull up relevant ideas, like this:

most people don't give a damn about your vision. They care about what your product can do for them today .

Private note-taking tools are the equivalent of shutting your door (lonely).

Your brain is for having ideas, not for storing them.

Human curation will become infinitely more valuable. That’s the insight. It’s huge, it’s exciting, and... it’s completely useless on its own.
