I agree with gworley. Less Wrong has something of a unique flavour. There are undoubtedly a large number of websites for people interested in research tricks. I’d be fine with a single post asking people to all submit their research tricks, but I don’t believe that this belongs on main.
To me this seems too generic to be a LW post. It’s lacking something of the flavor “this is what I expected to see on LW” or “this is writing within the rationalist/EA/LW context” and has something of “I could read this on anyone’s blog anywhere”.
It’s certainly different than things-usually-found on LW, but it felt within the class of things that seem appropriate.
I don’t personally follow blogs where this sort of post would exist. I also don’t personally benefit from the post. But I have a sense that LW should be the sort of place where more formal research/academia stuff has a home.
(It’s also the sort of shorter post that I think would make more sense when we’ve figured out a better system of short-form content)
