Of course, our common objective is to stack sats. And there may be other extrinsic sources of motivation that fuel our activity here, such as wanting to support Bitcoin-centered content.

But in terms of personal development, are you using Stacker News as a tool to attain some higher level of performance? As a way to engage in purposeful practice so that you can write more fluently and effectively? Or as a digital notepad for you to record down emerging ideas, which might otherwise be as transient as cherry blossoms during spring? Or as an impetus for you to gain the motivation to quit some bad habit as well as gather tips on how best to do it?

On the flip side, does all this talk of enhanced performance make you cringe? For you just use it as an avenue to exchange banter, learn some news and relieve some stress? As a hobbyist? All fun nothing too serious. Hell, you may even be shitposting exclusively during your fiat job.

I’m reading Peak by Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool right now. It got me wondering about how Stacker News fits into the overall scheme of the life of other Stackers.
