how we met: He is a partner with Andy Matuschak working on Quantum Country and I also found I already met him in Joel Chan‘s twitter half a year ago
how we met: when I was searching about Philip Guo on Chinese Net, I found another fan of him, who is xiaowan, and I found more about her.
how we met: I first met Plidezus on a fancy notion page called 产品沉思录(精选) ProductThinking. There are huge amount of valuable passages, although I got little time to read (another web page I would like to spend a lot of time to read is Andy Matuschak's personal site). Anyway, then I found him the founder of Flomo, but I did not pay any attention to this note-taking tool at that time, cause I thought Roam Research could be all in one.
how we met: he is the author of Why books don't work, which I believe is a significant post recently on internet. And a very important evidence for why I gradually becom a roamcult of Roam Research. Roam probably will be a compatitive tool to achieve the goal, replacement of books.
how we met: I found he is an interesting person, a tenured professor in CMU (same as Joel Chan) in statistics field and has been in Madison for a while. The whole story about how I met him was long and complex. I was mainly focused on the new Roam Research course at the very beginning. Then I tried to find out about the PDF highlighter, then I found it's coder also has posted some other hard work video on Youtube (a very much helpful video if someone need to read All of Statistics), also he seems to be very familiar with Albric. So I tried to find out more about ccc, in his late tweet, I found he seems to be a tenured professor and he reposted a link, which then refers to a wayback machine page, this was something that Cosma wrote when he was 40 (which is 14 years ago, on the day he got his tenured track). The article seems sad and depressed. Then I tried to search more about this guy.
how we met: I have been searching desperately about Philip Guo, and In this book review R - 小孩子的可塑性 (highlights), unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere, otherwise I could know more about his family, how Philip grew up.
how we met: a link from Joel Chan's* personal site, in which Philip tells about how to write a good first email, however, the link has disappeared, and I searched on the Internet more about him. No matter how deep I track, the results is just nothing. In fact, he has aborted Internet since early 2020 and deleted most stuff he uploaded in past years, including his blog, youtube channel which contains a huge amounts useful information for knowledge workers in university. I am so sad about knowing him one year late.
