I did. I did think I enjoyed the craft. Maybe I enjoyed the compliments, the stars, the glory, the God status I always imagined will come my way but never did. Except burnout. That did come my way. A good question.

I've only found one answer to the "creative work" struggle now, after code writing as an art seems to have died. Start to write. Or continue to write. Or consider writing as the place to explore and develop your ideas. They&#

I donno, read thee classics! They're classics for a reason. You can't go wrong with them. You'll certainly not like them all, but find your niche, there's plenty to choose from. There's plenty of history, philosophy

I got this wild idea a short while ago and your comment helped cement it: probably one of the reasons why languages like Lisp are not "successful" has something to do with the impressability factor? If the people with money (and t

If one would really be interested in these kind of things, I'm pretty sure one would be interested in other great resources, like the one mentioned. If one would really be interested in classical music or philosophy one would sure not

Just curious how these lines work out, "People who log workouts are 2x more likely to stick to their routine and make gains, No social feeds, no distractions, just results. $1.99/month vs $9.99 competitors." For me it would b

Of course this whole "it will make your more productive" marketing s** is absurd! How can we know? Living on the Moon will make you 27% happier! How do you know that? Has anyone done it in the past? Is there data to back that up?
