Unfortunately, if you get there, there's not enough therapy in the world that will help. You can never pay someone to teach you to love yourself, or to decide for you who exactly you are, or decide for you what you want. You have to cl

A person who follows a path laid out for them by others from the age of four without veering will encounter challenges later in life involving self-direction and identity. 'Set for life' is a dangerous delusion.

To me your talk was very authentic. I felt like I was having a beer with you and you were just laying out in an hour how you see things. It was super impactful and totally changed the way I think about a number of things. A big part of that

The second row of cannons was added at the insistence of the king, the shipbuilder knew it would doom the ship. Also, I've yet to meet anyone who thought the Vasa sank because "Swedes were stupid."

Periodic aimless walking is a huge productivity boost for any dev. It allows you to take stock, prioritize, and adjust your strategies, not mention solve problems. If you're not doing it, try it, $5 says it saves you tons of time.

Reminds me of the Twilight Zone movie back in the 80's, the kid who can wish anything he wants and it comes true, and he wishes all these strangers to be his "family" and traps them in the house with them. I'd love to he
