Every single discussion around UI is now laden with "this isn't 100% optimized for user interaction" like there's some rulebook dictating exactly what you have to do for your website to be useable. There's benefits

I see what you're getting at, but I'd disagree. I think accepting who you are also comes with commitment to pursue the things you're interested in, because non-acceptance would be "ignoring this part of me I wanted to pu

Nah, you definitely don't get it. Some people are here enjoying the act of programming, and Cursor Tab is acting like an improvement on IntelliSense/autocomplete that actually knows what it's doing. Not all of us want to spen

Even with frameworks, I don't see any joy in making something that just looks and feels the same as any other site. I understand it from a business point of view, but if you're trying to just showcase yourself or your work having

Yeah I agree, someone saying they don't want to talk anymore because they've already written about something stops it being a discussion and makes it into some sort of lecture but without the notes. If you're insisting on tel

Every person I've spoken to who's told me they're interested in crypto literally only care about it to make money, and have no interest in learning how it works. They all treat every last crypto-based use as investment like s

Setting times is fine, but my approach is I have a list of 4-5 things to do written the night before, and knowing how much time I have in the morning, midday and afternoon as well as the energy I still have left at different parts of the da

“Get rid of your to-do list and instead choose one year goal, then break it down into monthly goals, then weekly goals, then daily goals” And what do you call that list you just wrote down, exactly?

Programming books are generally technical documentation, or close enough - of course they're boring to read. There's so much detail to programming you could spend the rest of your life reading documentation and feel like you barel

The universe is a system. We a part of that system. So any traits we have are inherently traits that the universe has, even if parts of it don't share it. A human has a hand, the hand is part of the human, but the rest of the human is

I'd argue that's the worst kind of best practice, because in order to get an entire team to work on it they now have no reason other than "their manager said so". It's one thing to skim over what you know your proje

Used to have to argue with my dev team manager about this, he was a big fan of reading about some new-ish concept that we weren't using yet and then trying to tell the team he needs to spend a couple weeks changing everything over to i

If he knew one of their suspects names and decided to fuck with them and throw them off the trail, yes, he would use someone else's name. Your leap to judgement of "it must be Gary" is just as much of a leap as "it might

I could have sworn there was something I read when I was young that way more than that goes extinct every year. Is it really that big a problem? Extinction happens all the time, even before humans came around. It's just what happens wh

Oh, and a mention on 'saying no' - it's very hard to convince an employer to start saying no to customer demands even when they agree with all the reasons set out in front of them, especially when they've had a decade of

There's a balance needed with smaller companies. I, for a long time, chose not to care about the company's goals and just hit the daily tasks, and for a while it worked and I did very well. But eventually the management had a buil

Yeah I think their analogies are a bit mixed, but the general idea of ‘learned reaction’ is still there, even if the examples the author used didn’t mesh well together.

Everyone’s different. You can read a hundred different ways to get around the resistance, but doing them 100% the way they’re described likely WON’T work for you. You have to find the things you do like about it, and discard the parts you d

Big difference between ‘someone who cuts corners’ and ‘someone who won’t do the task at all’ when it comes to the phrase ‘lazy person’. The first person will do the task, they just deemed it not worthy of their focused effort. The second pe

I think the article is describing resistance not just in terms of ‘difficult’ creative processes but any excuse you could make for any action that would likely benefit you. Hence that line is more for people who resist finding new connectio

I think you may be getting too bogged down in the details of the example. It was a purposefully simplified example to show how to calculate the IMS score for different setups.

Anger is a gut reaction, learned over time when you're young and likely to persist in muscle memory for a long time. The way to get around it is the same as any other habit - mindful practice of your reactions. Let yourself feel angry,

I don’t say that waking up early ‘’creates energy out of nothing’’, I’m saying you wake up with a certain amount of energy to spend and it depletes over the day, so it makes sense that the earlier hours (or at least not the LATE hours) woul

If you have no energy at the end of the day, the answer is to find time in the morning. Get up earlier, go to bed earlier. If you find your time in the afternoon isn't productive but you find it fulfilling to be around the people you l

If I ever got something beneficial out of meditation, it was that feelings and thoughts come and go and do not have to necessarily be listened to. I didn't realise this until I was in my early 20s, and looking back, there were so many

I work with someone who loves optimisation, i.e. reading books and then assuming everything we do is wrong and demanding we change it. Glad I'm past the point where he liked to spend hours arguing that stuff. Hard to make someone under
