how? Enzyme grounds itself in the questions I would ask and applies it to a new corpus

makes me wonder if great design isn't about removing all difficulty but making the hard parts worth learning www.jpham.space/posts/subpa...

still figuring out whether this attachment comes from the tool itself or from earning understanding through friction

now i can switch between freezing motion and creating blur without thinking. the controls live where my hands expect them. muscle memory built through frustration

we assume good tools should work perfectly out of the box. but the ricoh's difficulty forced me to learn every setting, every button, every workaround

spent hours mapping custom controls. shutter speed to one dial, aperture to another, snap focus to a side button. not because it's efficient but because setup creates attachment

the camera has objectively terrible autofocus. forces me to use zone focusing instead. this surprised me: the limitation made me understand depth of field better than any tutorial

Do you find that the friction makes you rethink technical aspects or product oriented ones?

it's not seamless but it works!

just seems like a good idea is a collection of notes tied that say the same thing in different ways. a good idea also holds nuance between two extremes. to write well, claude needs to identify the right articulation, not just the space between two extremes

Yeah!! Been pushing out a lot of updates to it recently. Obsidian and Claude Code have been really taking off since we spoke in nyc

Hey!! surprised that I only just came across your share, thanks a lot! Have you gotten a chance to kick the can around yet?

Hey Johannes! great post, i've also been using claude code + obsidian since early last year and love it. Are you doing a lot of cross-tagging or importing of highlighted content in your work? would love to chat more.

same here, markdown files are effectively "artifacts" in claude. But with the benefit of choosing what to log / save

I use Reader from @readwise.bsky.social to save videos, then as I watch, I highlight the transcript. This syncs to Obsidian
