From [[Andy Matuschak]] [Work with the garage door up](https://notes.andymatuschak.org/About_these_notes?stackedNotes=z21cgR9K3UcQ5a7yPsj2RUim3oM2TzdBByZu&stackedNotes=zF9ywLHqHfN5rFuPApiyqmP) > [!Summary]+ > Working with the "garage door up," which refers to creative people openly sharing their process and progress. This form of communication is seen as the opposite of simply posting finished work on platforms like Twitter. The author believes that this kind of transparency creates more invested and interesting followings over time. They also argue that working on niche, personally-meaningful projects brings unexpected opportunities. The author expresses a desire for starting physical businesses to be easier, as they believe it is one of the best things a person can do. They highlight the positive impact of physical businesses on public spaces. The document also mentions the lack of an equivalent in social media for physical businesses' signs or open doors, leading to a bias towards those who constantly speak online. The author suggests that if one could see through this bias, they would find a world filled with people quietly working. The document concludes by mentioning Robin's search for peripheral vision in this aspiration.
