Mythos Nirvana is 📝John Zdanowski's term for the moment when one's previously captured thoughts appear in a selector, the way variable names or trusted functions appear while coding.
if only I knew how to insert of picture of contextual augmentationThe term draws on coding practice. Building batches of trusted code is, in John's view, perhaps what differentiates 10x and 100x coders from the average programmer, because each new piece of work can draw on everything already built and proven. He extends the idea from code to people: branded communities such as Y Combinator and Harvard Business School build batches of trusted people, and building batches of trusted people with a trusted communication method is Mythos Nirvana.
The communication method John had in mind is 📝MythOS, where captured thoughts resurface as 📝Contextual Augmentation.
The interface I used when I first started coding was simply a text editor; WYSIWYG hadn't been invented yet. To build spreadsheets that scale, I have learned to conform to spreadsheet methodology: tab names, structure on each tab, source references. These batches of trusted code enable me to leverage every spreadsheet I've ever built into each new spreadsheet. Mythos Nirvana Is.
