Agreed. You lose all the benefits of live coding, imo. This is a way to fake live coding for an image of capability, but there's no point. You may as well just scroll through your already-typed code, if you're going to use this

Would that not cut off the possibility of live questions? I always prefer learning from teachers who stop & start, and are flexible enough to incorporate difference from the script in their demonstrations.

Interesting question and idea. Organized sport, at least, is a big one. It over-occupies potential leaders and warriors, drowning them in luxury and focusing them on themselves, diverting our attention to them instead of actual heroes and

I wonder what is the worst picture in its source. I managed to find a bird being flipped in one (as the pointing finger). How deep does this rabbit hole go?

I have a feeling that to do it right, it'd have to be a collaboration with an enthusiastic private partner, if for no other reason than available expertise. One city, Hamilton, Ontario, years ago tried out free public wifi. Great ide

Indeed, we have been given convenience and a promise of security, but the way in which we operate is not sustainable for the vast majority of people, over a long enough timeline, imo. As to what I'd prefer (my not having the slightest

Not having supportive, competent peers can be soul-eating. Financial comfort is non-negotiable, but if something else exists with that and other good aspects, that can be a good direction in which to move.

I feel you. I'm in a similar position pay wise (my benefits kind of suck though, especially family health insurance). At least know this, and possibly use it for encouragement: I'm going down the road of re-learning all the data

In-my-40s dev here. Believe me, having a parking space you don't have to pay for is far under-rated, and riding a bike to work blows when you're old. Of course, I'd still rather be working from home, by my employer strictly

I shouldn't say more overall, but the difference among people who have a similar diet and circumstances, but differ by housing culture, would be interesting to observe. I'd like to see apples to apples, if indeed the theorized re

>people in U.S. cities...people in less developed parts of the world What about people in the US who are not in cities? That's the more interesting comparison to me. Why would that be left out?

Or perhaps, as is becoming pretty ubiquitous in tech: the people who communicate things don't have nearly as much understanding as the people who do them. It was not always this way, but it seems the communication department in an org

By "question," I mean "question," not "detract." Questioning is never unhealthy, because questioning is looking critically (which also has no natively negative connotation).

It's so easy to look at decades old successes and scoff at opponents, but without hindsight it's easy to appreciate criticism. We're no smarter or more sophisticated than anyone back then, and shouldn't use a story like
