Awesome idea, Avinash dai!

Here is my contribution for the week:

  1. Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound : One of the most comprehensive writeups about aphantasia that I’ve read. Goes into how some people are not able to visualize anything, some people visualize too much, and how that has effects on their memory of their life too.
    (are you thinking “wait what does he mean that other people can visualize?”, ooo welcome to the club, fellow aphantasiac, please talk to me about this!)

  2. If you find number 1 a bit too long, highly recommend reading this quick and fun article by Blake Ross (a cofounder of Mozilla): Aphantasia: How It Feels To Be Blind In Your Mind

  3. Build to Last: Jeremy Howard’s conversation with Chris Lattner on software craftsmanship and AI (of LLVM, Cland, Swift fame)
