I just start coding, then if it sucks, I throw away the code, and start from scratch. Github branches help with this. When I start from scratch again, I usually do much better than the first time because you get to use all the experience fr

Read Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. You'll realize that anti-social behavior is quite old. It could be that some people evolve to be anti-social so that society can progress, because such people typically spend more time on

Why not? If a solution suddenly pops up while you're walking in the woods, you don't want to get paid for it? Is the developer getting paid for the software he's building, or for the number of key-presses recorded on his keyb

It's interesting how in 2024, managers still believe that building software is simply the act of pushing random buttons on a keyboard while moving a mouse. If the developer stops typing for a minute, or a few hours in order to use his

I use Poetry because it makes my life easy and works just like Ruby's bundler and npm in Nodejs. Some people hate it because they forced people to upgrade a while ago. It's childish to dismiss such an amazing tool because of one b
