This is a bit out-there, and might come off as server recruitment... but if anyone is lonely and wants to talk about weird bass music, dubstep, DnB, Garage, etc. - here's a Discord server I run and spend all day in. discord.gg/cbw

More and more, I'm finding myself using Notion to track "life data stuff". I realize this is a very imperfect choice, but it offers the best tooling I've found so far for this sort of thing. I may migrate to some self-ho

I also use LibraryThing, and I switched over when GoodReads was acquired by Amazon. I love LibraryThing, and they do monthly giveaways of new books by indie authors. I try to recommend it to everyone I know, so thanks for plugging it in thi

I use Monarch. I pay a monthly fee for it, but it has zero ads, tracks all the accounts I care about, and gives me a simple interface for the "envelope method" on web and mobile. I've used Mint, YNAB, and several other tools.

I visit the HN site very rarely. I mostly see HN links via the Panda browser plugin. I open stories I'm interested in, which then leads to tab hell, but that is at least a defined list I can work through vs. the infinite scroll problem

I'm a similar late-bloomer who had to work my way into a tech job the hard way. No college degree, etc. Yes, it's possible - though it's quite hard. My advice would be to ask around and isolate the first set of skills needed

1. Accept that you may never lose your stage-fright, but you may be able to turn that fear to your advantage (motivation to prepare, or improve performance style). Winston Churchill is considered one of the great orators of the 20th century
