Love Starrett! He also did a talk at Google ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfg_e6YG37U ) and near the end someone asks about stand up desks. The problem the author has might not be due to the standing desk but more with his posture. The s

I tend to do a lot of work upfront (without committing) and then go back and split the work up into smaller commits with "git add -p". I commit often, so it's never a huge list of changes I have to split. I do this so I can cherry pick comm

I'm curious about this as well. I've posted my skills on craigslist and sent stuff out to my friends, but I always receive requests from people who can only pay very little. Either that, or I'm not doing a very good job of advertising mysel

I would highly recommend traveling without a planned timeline. I was in a similar state you were last August. I quit my job and booked a ticket to fly to Madrid, Spain. I didn't have a place to stay until the day before I flew out. This was

I think a smaller screen size is better for productivity. It keeps me focused on the task at hand since the screen size constrains what I can have on screen. With larger screens, there's too many other apps that can grab my attention. In re

It sounds like you might be burnt out. Why don't you just take a break? I was burnt out for a few years and didn't realize it until August this year. I decided to step away from programming. Instead, I traveled. I told myself I'd stay away

Being Asian, I also have a similar effect. I don't get drunk, but rather I go from being a little buzzed or tipsy to hung over. I get pounding headaches and I always want to fall asleep. If I'm lucky, I'll find a beer/wine/spirit that I can

It's a fantastic device for my parents who aren't tech savvy. Add a camera (hopefully in a future version) and it'll be great to do some video conferencing with my parents. For me, it'd just be a nice to have. So, no, I wont get one.

I think it should be a combination of both GitHub and StackOverflow. GitHub is great to see if the person can code, and a very crucial part of hiring. StackOverflow is great to see if a person can communicate, which I think is as important

I don't think I've ever broken a keyring. I've replaced the ones I've had due to it being too small, or I've lost my keys, but I've never broken one yet.
