Yep. I am writing code professionally for long time, so that pride and sense of accomplishment is hard to come by. But fixing anything, even small, gives me that satisfaction every time I use it.

For me it started because of money, but then it became a hobby. Besides, I can go for an oil change and have everything done for me. However, it's fun researching about different oils, finding a best price online, getting it shipped an

I took the first nice car I bought three years after I got my first job to the dealer to replace brakes. They charged me $550 for it. After that I taught myself how to fix things, starting with cars, plumbing, drywall, electrical and each a

I made 78k as a web developer in Connecticut in 2004. You need to find another job. 70k in NYC is too low for a software developer.

I used to enjoy taking/debating/joking around with my co-workers while I worked in the office. We used to spend hours talking about football or politics or stock market. Now that I am home, I found other things to do. Like staring

I learned uml in University couple of decades ago. I don't remember ever using UML since. If you are using UML during design phase, you probably are not going in right direction.

Learning becomes harder as one ages, I think. Concentrating also becomes harder with so many distractions. I think best way to learn anything computer related is to make something. I started learning docker, I took my projects and container

On Android, I have rooted my phone and installed adaway. It adds /etc/hosts entries to block ads. I haven't seen ads in a long time. I also use Firefox with unlock sometimes. On iOS, you could use a different DNS server to bl

I wish I had saved all the comments and downvotes to comments leaning progressive, but I never did. The most recent interaction I had was a user saying CNN and Fox news are equally bad because one of CNN anchors once said "we" in

I would say shocking part is the cockiness of the police. They are so secure in their jobs that they know that even if they kill someone on camera or rough up protected entities like journalists nothing would happen to them. I mean, they li

I imagine it's not meant to be 100% accurate. If it identifies even 50% of the people that may have come in contact with someone who's positive, even considering 50% false positives, I would consider it a rousing success.

I do get that urge sometime. I use Debian with gnome3. When I get that urge, I go find a good looking theme. The new theme makes it feel like I have a something different. This used to happen quite a lot when I was in my 20s and early 30s.

I never got addicted to social media. I have Facebook, twitter, Instagram, reddit, HN, digg etc etc, but I rarely if ever use it. Although I do read reddit and HN regularly, I never felt a desire to delete it in order to curb the usage. Hav

Unless you are doing a zell pay or similar thing which transfers money from person to person instantly, there is nothing much you can do. Zell pay has daily limit of 2000. If you want to transfer money to another account, it would take more
