Vlad's Roam Garden

Garden Terrace

👋 I'm Vlad Sitalo - the creator of Roam Garden.

These days I spend most of my time dancing and thinking about how to apply my tech skills to get better at dancing. I'm also interested in fostering a community focused on systematically thinking about dance together.

Other big ares of interest for me include Tools for thought and Future of Programming.

See top of mind for an occasionally updated list of things I'm currently focusing on.

Some starting points for exploration of the garden:

recently published top level notes

Bringing knowledge and conversation closer together

Your friendly neighborhood botnet

What makes code readable? Can we define that objectively?

readability can be understood in computational terms

when you develop software you invent a language

How do computational and design lenses mix?

design defines cognitive problems users need to solve

not stating your preferences clearly - imposes high computational costs on people you're communicating with

Spaced Repetition can be used to program attention

use multiple levels of processing information for learning & understanding

How to find your path in the garden

What to look at

Follow some links above, take a look at graph, use a search bar if you are wondering if I wrote about some specific topic.

You can use make-public page's backlinks section as an index - every page in the garden has a link to it.
