Earlier this week, I decided to try using Vim instead of an IDE for working on createthirdplaces.org. My coding speed has slowed down significantly as I am not used to Vim. I think the slowdown is somewhat of a benefit right now.

• Right now, I am prioritizing user experience by displaying pages in a way that makes sense for users, and making sure information is organized in an intuitive way. As part of this process, I’m thinking about the user feedback I have received recently. Slowing down is helping me think carefully about the changes I am making to ensure that they are addressing feedback.
• Slowing down makes it less likely that I am producing too much content. Too much visible content overwhelms users. If I can improve the user content by making it less visible, that means users are unlikely to see the content, and working on that content probably did not need to be a priority.
