Revisiting My Eras (index) (which I made in ~Jan 2025, it’s now October), there’s a sense of like “dude, this is a mad amount of detail”

The thing is, it’s actually for me. I’m the king of taking a life era and flattening it into a self-depracating story, like “oh yeah I went to Asia and I was really sweaty and didn’t get much from it”, removing a whole bunch of great experiences from my summary by mistake/automatically/without realising. So I wanted to gather nice stuff from each era, add more context etc.

(I call this “gisting”, and “gist updating”, where I can have a “gist” like “oh yeah I worked at Alvea and I probably shouldn’t have been hired and I was overpaid”, rather than a more positive and fun gist)
