Wiping My GitHub
- sctst 4y agoHi Andrew, I appreciate you writing up why you deleted everything - at the same time, I'm sad because a colleague recently told me about your finfreq Anki deck and it was the best of all the ones I've come across, and I thought it was so cool that you included a direct link on each card to fix any errors ... except then the link was dead... and I found this post by way of trying to see if there's any spare copy of the repository somewhere... :'( if you ever restart it, please let me know!
- hiAndrewQuinn 4y agoI'm amazed someone else on HN knew about my `finfreq` deck. I don't have the original 1000-word deck anymore - I realized it was coming from a very poor frequency list source. But I do have a much better sourced `finfreq10k` deck I'm planning on uploading once I have gone through and hand edited at least the top 1000 most common cards. I'll let you know.
- xpe 4y agoNo judgment here. There is some chance that someone will miss something he deleted. Or maybe future him will. The key problems as I understood it are: expectations and distractability. But there are alternatives. What would you do?
- xpe 4y ago> my life’s work This phrase usually signifies something of great personal importance. I can’t tell for sure, but it seems the author is using the phrase differently. I think he means the collection of software projects. I don’t think anyone would lightly destroy “their life’s work”. The author strikes me as a serious person.
