You want to peel back layers of weirdness.

The thesis is “The future of work is agentic.” So the play is to build the ideal UI for agentic work. And I suspect, at least early on, it looks suspiciously like an IDE.
Just take everything that powers Cursor Agent and put it in a UI that doesn’t look like a code editor. Tons of possibilities here. If you’re an ambitious person looking for an idea I’d pick that ide…

The solution that’s worked best for me is to get learners thinking about where they were a few months ago.

This might feel obvious, but many learners don’t fully grasp the implications, and as a result, end up not actually learning much.

You are maximizing a product, not a sum.

It’s not just that the expert thinks differently from the novice. It’s also that the expert literally perceives information differently to begin with. And the driving force behind this is long-term memory.

If you don’t practice retrieving information from memory, it dissipates quickly and almost entirely.

Just like successfully lifting a heavy weight forces your body to adapt to strengthen muscles, successfully recalling a fuzzy memory (lengthy wait) forces your brain to adapt to strengthen memory.

Bad / insufficient / non-comprehensive training data, inability to fit new data that’s too different from the current representation, lack of compute power, running behaviors/algorithms that make inefficient use of available data / compute power.

Avoid the vicious cycle of “I only use A because I don’t like B because I can’t remember how to use B because I only use A.”

No. Math Academy’s foundations series that goes from fractions to first-year university is benchmarked about 15,000 XP, about 250 hours of focused work. Of course, there’s plenty of university math to dig your teeth into after that, but that’s the order of magnitude of work we’re talking.

Learning is a positive change in long-term memory. By creating strategic connections between neurons, the brain can more easily, quickly, accurately, and reliably activate more intricate patterns of neurons. Wiring induces a “domino effect” by which entire patterns of neurons are automatically activated as a result of initially activating a much smaller number of neurons in the pattern.

Streaks are amazingly effective in just getting people to show up. It’s a measure of habit/consistency, not progress – but when effective training techniques and honest progress metrics are in place, streaks can truly push the needle on talent development.

In the science of learning, there is absolutely no debate: practice techniques that center around retrieving information directly from one’s brain produce superior learning outcomes compared to techniques that involve re-ingesting information from an external source.

Higher-grade math unlocks specialized fields that students normally couldn’t access until much later – and on average, the faster you accelerate your learning, the sooner you get your career started, and the more you accomplish over the course of your career.

Skating around the rink will get you to a decent level of comfort in your basic skating skills, but being able to land jumps and spins will force a whole new level of robustness and fault-tolerance in those underlying skills. The same applies to knowledge in general.
