Some small experiments in 'microblurting'

• blurting
• microblurting
• my blurts

Microblurting feels similar to using flashcards. Which makes sense, as they're both forms of active recall.

But the micro aspect of it makes it closer to flashcards than doing a bigger blurt.

I've found it beneficial so far. Helping to refine and remember my definitions of some concepts that I'm interested in.

It also feels somewhat similar to doing code kata, in that I'm refining my writing tools and my use of them while repeating and rewriting simple definitions. e.g.making it easier to open the session drawer in Termux in right-handed one-handed mode, issue with evil-escape in Doom on Termux both arose from microblurting on my phone.

I find the words blurt and microblurt pleasingly comical, but I imagine there's a more sensible term for the practice in learning science.

I'm not certain in the utility yet of publishing your microblurts, but I find it somehow motivational, and as long as you're not overloading a public stream that people are expecting to be something else, I see no harm in it.

Should it stand the test of time, I could imagine a microblurt having its own microformat.
