Information Density — The Lens
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Info Density
Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

Information density is exceptionally high for the blog category. Headings like ‘Bird Feeders’ and ‘Callusing the mind’ lead directly into specific, anecdotal narratives rather than vague value propositions. The body text is devoid of generic marketing filler, instead offering granular details such as ’20 years in investment banking IT’ and descriptions of a ‘cut plastic juice bottle’ bird feeder. There is zero concept repetition, as each post addresses a distinct and unique personal observation.
Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.

HOMEPAGE (https://vishy.net) Vishy's Nook – Random musings on life, tech, investing and more
Skip to content [H1] Posts 25 December / Life My daughter made a bird feeder out of a cut plastic juice bottle. It lies horizontal, placed like one of those ships in a bottle. She cut a cavity in its midsection while leaving the structure intact. Lying on its side, it allows for a couple of birds to feed from it at once, one on each side. She taped the cut edges with soft tape so there’s nothing that could cut a bird. Read the postThis is a Standard Post 14 December / Life I’ve been listening to David Goggins' memoir Can’t Hurt Me. Part a retelling of his life from early childhood to his adulthood covering the difficulties he faced at every juncture, and part self-help ooh-rah manual, the book is an intense read, and the audiobook is a very well-done adaptation. While I’d recommend that you read it if you haven’t, this article focusses on a couple of techniques he lays out that will allow any person to boost their performance across a wide variety of activities. Read the postThis is a Standard Post 31 July / Work There’s a trend and belief in the FIRE world that the purpose of work is to earn enough to be able to quit and then focus on doing the things you love. Inherent in this belief is the assumption that work is unfulfilling, unlovable and a drudge. I’ve been in investment banking IT for over two decades now. This is a result of my first job being in a bank, and the rest following the same path. Read the postThis is a Standard Post 19 July / Work After 13 years and change, I’ve moved jobs. Same sector and domain, same city, but slightly different sub-domain. Today is when I start. I’m not sure how to feel about it. On one hand, I’m losing my relationships, credibility and all the credit I have banked in with my previous firm. I knew the culture and how to work within it. On the other hand, the new job means starting off with a clean slate and a nice steep learning curve for the first year or two. Read the postThis is a Standard Post

Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 13 May / Life We’re in the midst of a complete lockdown in Karnataka, and my wife and daughter are at my in-laws, while I’m stuck home. This is the same situation we were in a year ago, and we’d then gotten into a routine where my daughter would call me close to her bedtime, and I’d tell her a story. When I was young, bedtime stories would mean retelling a famous story from the Panchatantra, or the Ramayana, or the Mahabharata. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 02 August / Life A quest for adequacy, or the slow natural death of obsessions. I saw a Penny Arcade comic recently that spoke to me. This is who I used to be as well. Obsessive about minute details around my phone or my computer, looking to optimize value for money for any new purchase, tuning the device all the time. These days, I feel most computers and phones are more than adequate for my needs, and the best configuration is one that maintains itself. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 02 June / Life When my daughter was a bit over a year old, she’d do something naughty and tell us that one of her stuffed toy dogs did it. ‘Rocky did it.’ ‘Snowy was very naughty.’ At the time, she treated her dogs as companions, having conversations with them, ascribing personalities to them and so on, so we fell in line and scolded the dog in question with appropriate seriousness. Throughout all this, my daughter would have a teeny-tiny smirky smile at having pulled one over her gullible parents' eyes. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 01 June / Life / Work I work in IT, and have been doing so now for two decades. For the last few years, my role has become more and more managerial and consequently, less and less technical. This change didn’t play to my strengths. I found myself stressed and unhappy, in charge of a lot and in control of very little. Some people are suited to this sort of a job and do well in it, but over time I felt like I was drowning in my responsibilities. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 14 October / Life When we moved homes, my daughter switched from her pre-school to a Montessori setup where she was in M2 - the equivalent of lower kindergarten. Initially, she did not adjust well to it. Not the routine, not the teaching materials, not the teachers or the other kids. Every morning, she protested the whole purpose of going to school, and after a while, we felt it necessary to step in and discuss her reluctance with her teachers at the first PTM. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 01 June / Health / Life I recently heard a TED talk from Josh Prager about his book 100 Years, which contains pithy statements from famous writers on every year of life. It is a beautiful talk, and the sayings are very well chosen. Many will hit home; they sure did for me. What I found curious from those sayings was that some of the happiest people were ones in their sixties and older. I’d expected that happiness peaks alongside vigour and declines side by side with it, all other things being equal. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 12 May / Optimize / Life We’d vacationed in Coorg at the beginning of the month. One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to the beautiful Kwality Estate, a working coffee plantation. The plantation is large, varied, well planned and incredibly beautiful. The pictures in the AirBnb link do not do it justice; you have to be on site to feel its impact. The estate even has its own stream and mini-waterfall! We will return to stay someday; ideally in a large group. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 20 April / Life The parliamentary election process in India goes on for over a month in different phases across the country. Last Thursday was ours in Bangalore. Our offices had given us the day off. The booths are crowded in the mornings, so we had a leisurely start to the day, had lunch, then took off to the booth to vote. My daughter had come with us the last time, for the local elections. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 01 April / Life I’ve lived in a few different cities. Of the lot, I’ve lived in Bangalore the longest - over half my life. It is where I live now, and there’s a lot I love about the city - the people, the weather, the labour market, the eating options, shopping and entertainment, etc. There’s a couple of things I don’t like at all - the lack of water, the spotty electricity, the pollution and the traffic. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 31 December / Life As the year comes to a close, there’s a lot to look back at. Professionally, this was my first year where I was primarily a manager rather than an engineer. I can’t say I liked it (I didn’t), but I did learn a lot. It also helped me understand that there are some ladders that are not mine to climb. No matter what rewards exist at the top. It was also a year where I saw significant growth in parts of my team.

Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 07 June / Work Everywhere, I see young developers looking to work on the newest technologies and paradigms. This is rarely more evident than in the Cloud, Web and Mobile domains, where the rate of change is extreme and frameworks and tools that were leaders three or four years ago have often fallen by the wayside. They chase the new new, and they do so with the zeal of evangelists. As an old(er) developer, I find the rate of change dizzying and impossible to stay on top of alongside all the other constraints that a busy work and family life brings.

Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 02 September / Work I work in India for a US firm. My firm has offices all around the world, and thus, employees from a large number of cultures. The firm is over a century old, with several of the offices also being decades old. As is usually the case, distinct from these cultures, the firm also has several cultures, a dominant global culture and several region-specific ones. These cultures drive how we work on a day-to-day basis. Read the postThis is a Standard Post map[] 26 May / Work I love watching NBA games. Of the teams I’ve watched, I like the style of play the Golden State Warriors have perfected. Lots of ball movement, very little isolation play, an assist-heavy scoreline and two of the best shooters ever. If you know nothing about them, there are a few facts that can help inform this conversation They are a superteam. Their entire starting lineup for parts of this season consisted of All-Stars, something that has never occurred before They have 3 of the last four championships and are in the finals of this one The literature around superteams and star-studded teams is unequivocal.

That year, like many others, I stopped after about 4000 words, and the book lay unwritten. I’m attempting to write the same book again this time, as I felt the concept was good and would be a good candidate for a sprint like this. So what makes me think I’ll do any better this year? This year has been an odd one, even discounting the externalities, but I’ve managed to progress a number of my bucket list items.
