I think it's time, I'm logging off twitter until 2024. I wonder if it will still be here when I get back?

A common interpersonal mistake people make professionally: thinking of people as they were when you first met them. People change and grow, sometimes a lot. Not updating your mental model of people is just as bad as not updating on any other fact about the world.

My @recursecenter batch is over! Reflections post coming but the TL;DR will be: 10/10 would do again, great recharge, so many new threads to pull on, so many new interesting people and projects to explore.
