It still is! I think getting your foot in the door is much more difficult now compared to 5-6 years ago, similar to difficulty finding entry level work in 2008-2009 financial crisis. Market conditions aside, the points the OP blog post make

"Give yourself permission" here means acknowledging you're doing a "good enough" job (for now) instead of a "perfect" job, and not beating yourself up about it in the short term. The Wiki article on self-c

On the other side of this argument, I've seen "just run the dishwasher twice" used as shorthand for giving yourself permission to do whatever is needed to get the job done and not letting perfectionism paralyze you from makin

Eh, if you hadn't found Stumbleupon then you would have experienced the same effect from one of the zillion other competitors in the attention economy. You're right that this kind of novelty-seeking content has a profound impact o

I found this years ago, during the "Stumbleupon" era of the Internet (does anyone remember this time sink?). I'm so glad it's still alive!

I do this a lot; it's just nice to have some quiet companionship while working on something. The difference between body doubling and "working in an office setting" is mutual agreement to avoid distracting each other. I usual

As an outsider looking at Microsoft, I've always been impressed by the attention to maintaining legacy APIs and backward compatibility in the Windows ecosystem. In my mind, Microsoft is at the opposite end of the killedbygoogle.com spe

I'd recommend starting with Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Isaac Chuang and Michael Nielsen ("Mike and Ike"). It's the text used in most intro courses. There's an "Intro to Quantum Mechanics&quo

TTS runs Cloud.gov (government cloud provider similar to AWS) and FedRAMP certification. These aren't small programs. TTS also runs data.gov, which hosts tens of thousands of local/regional datasets. I don't think there'

LLMs that use Chain of Thought sequences have been demonstrated to misrepresent their own reasoning [1]. The CoT sequence is another dimension for hallucination. So, I would say that an LLM capable of explaining its reasoning doesn't g

As a learning exercise, I enjoyed Neural Networks From Scratch: https://nnfs.io/ There's also a world of statistics and machine learning outside of deep learning. I think the best way to get started on that end is an u

Maybe I'm the outlier here, but 15 minutes to chat with a human about my use case and pricing is way more efficient than donking around in docs/trial product. The only product I really want to punch in credit card info and GO is c

A less literal translation like "essentially" or "in essence" is deployed by master Latin translators like Robert Fagles. I've even seen "in a vacuum" which does a better job at communicating the original

Ah that makes more sense, thank you! I wasn't looking at it as a proxy for surrounding development, but now I can see why that might be a more nuanced metric than just region size/population.

Is living near a sports stadium really that desirable? I lived a few blocks from the Giants stadium in SF, and I'll never make that mistake again. Running a 15 minute errand on a game day could take hours. It was impossible to get my c

Similar story, but for the mobile era: I knew an indie app developer who built a portfolio of early mobile apps. His top-earners were a coloring book app, bead animal patterns, and a no-essay college scholarship app. Those three allowed him
