I ordered my phone October 10, 2017. As of March 21, 2022, I have not received my order yet. When given the option, I selected to receive the completed phone, rather than a beta build. Thus, the delay. Mainly, I did not order this to just h

Yes, I also alternate. But my ebb and flows are around motivation, not exertion. If I am working for someone else, and I put in a lot of effort, then I feel completely drained after N amount of days (or after project completion) – which req

I really like Duolingo. It's not my favorite way of learning a language§, but they do a good job of pounding vocabulary into your head over and over. I will never forget that jeruk is "orange" in Indonesian. However, taken fr

This is an important point, and an oft-quoted mantra I've seen from older devs. Your computer will change, and has little to know difference on your health. Your monitor, keyboard, mouse (and chair/desk can also be included) are y

John Carmack coding Quake on a 100 pound 1080p CRT in 1995[0] is a great image that this article reminded me of. I seem to remember monitors being 800x600 around that time, and a few years later did we even see 1024x768 become the norm. It&

I really appreciate your blog, and especially find articles like "Design Better Forms"[0] very interesting, if even to provide a nice check-list of do's and don'ts to keep in mind. Thank you for the articles you write. F

Cargo is one of the nicest build systems I've used. Coming from maven, I have nothing but love for what cargo brings and how easy it makes it. The key thing for me with Cargo (and Rust) is the documentation. I'm able to quickly gl

Hi epimetheus2! There are probably going to be a few people here who say, "code in the morning, spend your time and mental energy on yourself before you spend it on your company". I agree with this, but I also want to point out a

The adjective form of orthodoxy is orthodox. Think of something like the "Orthodox" church. And it's antonym is "unorthodox", for example: "the unorthodox church" ;)
