I tracked my productivity pretty rigorously in college for about a year. My maximum sustainable productivity was somewhere between 6 and 8 pomodoros a day. If a deadline was imminent, I could "crunch" and put in something like 12

Hello from Vancouver! Great work. One piece of feedback - would be great if there was an "import from Linkedin" feature. It seems like a lot of the information has already been populated, and it's annoying to c/p it over

It really depends what you mean by "low". It's certainly possible at the hundreds-per-day type volume. The key is to just look for bigger effects. If 200 people show up, 10/100 convert on A, and 25/100 convert on B

Author here. JadeNB you've hit the nail on the head! I have found that each language is better suited towards certain problems. This was a key motivation for making a set of problems specific yo Python. Sounds like you have some great

Thanks for your idea. I am aiming for very specific boundef problems with quality references. A Google app engine app is much too broad. Do you have more specific suggestions?

Author here. Adding a community aspect is definitely an end goal. Right now I'm trying to create a reasonable project list and perhaps a few sample solutions. I'm toying with the idea of test suites but that really adds constraint

Author here. Great idea! The problem is that I would be hard pressed to come up with projects that are universally appealing. Crowd sourcing for ideas seems like a good option here. If you have a list of ideas please reach out. My contact c

The article says students were only going to receive their SNP profiles for three genes (lactose digestion, alcohol digestion and folate absorption). I can't imagine how access to this information would radically any student's life paradigm
