Inversion question
If I wanted to destroy the value of this log, what would I do regarding comments?
Failure modes introduced by on-site comments
- Turning thinking into performance: writing starts anticipating replies.
- Polluting a weak-signal environment: sparse early comments distort decision-making.
- Premature social gravity: silence in comments becomes another “void” metric.
- Cognitive load leakage: moderation and responsiveness become obligations.
Decision
No on-site comments.
Emotional note (bounded): closing comments feels restrictive, but it protects a rare space where thinking is allowed to finish before being answered.
