Comment on How to get new ideas

I love this.

Short and concise, this combines two of my most favorite mindshares.

1. "Hackers and Painters" – I stumbled across in late 2004 at the Technical University of Vienna's (excellent) bookstore. Reading it changed my life.

2. "Ideas are the Enemy of Observations (2012)" – Just Three months ago yamrzou shared this gem of a text. For me, it has become the most meaningful post ever shared on HN.

"How to get new ideas" seems to fit snuggly right in the middle :)
