This is fascinating. I've mentioned this elsewhere, an idea for a feature I want in a social network: Live replay of typing. Just like in google docs, seeing people type, misspell, correct, pause, etc, before submitting, is this not truth faster? I see it as a midpoint between a phone call and a text message, in terms of emotional information carried. Would mitigate botting as well.

Right?! It's so obviously true yet so obviously not what's being optimized for.

Well some of the hidden truth of my comment is that it probably took me 40 minutes to write lol.

I think that'd be really neat but are we conflating transparency with truth? Truth is knowing an animal was killed for your meal. Transparency is watching it die before you eat.
Transparency is truth slower I think. But to your point, also truth verifiable.
I've taken to modifying truth faster to be relevant truth faster which I'm not sure is in line with the research, yet makes more sense to me.

I can't find the research from pleblab, do you have a link? Sounds very interesting.
By truth faster, does it mean e.g. twitter/tiktok, live content from celebrities/experts, minutes away?
What is relevant truth? What is truth for that matter, are we talking mathmatical publications or are we talking content from people who users trust? This is all very intriguing

It's private research that I've never seen myself. A friend just shared the tldr of the results with me verbally.
I'll reach out and see if he can share the full report with me and double back to summarize them (assuming they're meant to be kept private).

Format was irrelevant afaik. Authoritativeness of sources were probably marginally important too.
I'm exclusively guessing, but I think truth just means factual, fast means somehow obviously factual, and relevant truth (being my variation) means facts the person cares about.

Yesterday, I wrote a Github comment and after finishing it, I looked at the clock and thought, wtf, that took me 40 minutes!
Then I looked again and realized it was 1h and 40 minutes. Still can't believe it, I must have done something else in between, lol

I love this. I bet you are a kickass developer. And, insofar as you are not a kickass developer, you are moving with great velocity toward that endpoint.
Writing is thinking. Taking time to craft your thoughts about a commit, and to express them clearly, is a gift to others, and also like an intense workout for you.
Now I want to check out the repo and read these commit messages :)

I was talking about this Github comment, not about a commit message :)
Fortunately, I don't take so long for commit messages, lol
If I can't find a good commit message within seconds (max 1 minute probably), then my commit is not a good commit!
But the pull request description also took some time, I think. But that was definitely worth it. Makes life easier for @k00b to review and for me since I have written down my approach and can use it as a reference now. The TODOs are also nice to keep track of my progress.
@bitcoinplebdev inspired me to write better PR descriptions like this one :)

Writing is hard. But worth it.
