Inkhaven Spotlight #6
Six-post special, 20% of the way thru the month
Did you know that Substack has a neat embedding for Substack links? Linch discusses the pros and cons of loving your enemies; Lucie discusses what it looks like to view every communications problem as a nail and “Use Slack” as your hammer; and Kave discusses what optimization feels like from the inside, and how to notice when you need to make tradeoffs.
Residents blog places besides Substack as well. Also on the subject of optimization, Screwtape asks: Did you know you can just buy blackbelts? Mahmoud Ghanem discusses Ove Arup’s 1967 speech about progress, computers, and staying human in an age of automation. I think it’s often underappreciated how long our current era of technological progress has been going on, and how much people writing and talking sixty years ago were thinking about things that are happening today. TsviBT contemplates Love after the singularity.

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort. — Paul J. Meyer
