Indie RND

​Group indie research

​“Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.” - Richard Feynman

​What to bring:

• ​Research tools (laptop, notebook, Claude, etc.)

​In this iteration of Indie RND, we’ll participate in a focused research session. Based on our research interests, we’ll divide into small groups and spend 1 hour to dive deep into a subject. The topic can be anything! Here are some examples for reference:

• ​Augmenting human memory.

• ​Malleable software.

• ​SF housing policy.

• ​Orchestrating coding agents.

​After 1 hour of intensive research, we’ll present our findings and action items. For example:

• ​My research topic was augmenting human memory. I’m going to incorporate my findings into my personal knowledge management system so that I can better remember important things.

​We will then take 5-10 minutes to catalog our research into our open and shared knowledge base, which participants will continue to have access to beyond the session.

​Session agenda:

• ​15 min — Intros, get signed up.

• ​60 min — Split up and begin activities.

• ​30 min — Presentations; spend about 5 - 10 min each sharing.

• ​15 min — Closing; gather feedback, get connected etc.
