It is easiest for a lot of people. I know someone who did this a lot and ended up with an extremely high salary just a few years after dropping out of school. He would look for different companies after 1-2 years of working at his current o

http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_keep_your_goals_to_you... Derek Sivers shares a different opinion, can't really argue against it for you if it works for you, but it's good for other people to be mindful of all their choices.

It might be even more beneficial to read good code then try to find a way that it could've been done better.

They redid their calculations and reported an estimated piracy rate of 82%, instead of 90%. Minecraft may of had huge piracy rates, but it still made a huge profit. You won't ever get rid of piracy but you can still make a nice profit. r/ga

No clue on why you are getting downvoted. I make a point to only buy things from musicians where they get most of the money.

I really like Taleb, but I think his quote is a bit wrong. I love to just pick up my guitar and try to learn songs by ear but I usually find myself procrastinating against doing such things. I try to take procrastination as a sign that I've

I've experienced this form of procrastination a lot and I've found out that the best way to overcome it is to clean my desk, remove everything that isn't relevant to the work I want to get done and then dive into it. I'll usually be put in

I don't think it is as common as it should be, I know plenty of kids in school who claim studying while high helps increase their grades, only to watch them scratch their heads in confusion when they've nearly failed a test.

At 7:32 Seth mentions how someone said this could be placebo effect, and he said that his friend (Tucker) stopped taking flaxseed oils and that his gums got worse. I feel like placebo could easily throw away all his results into nothing, an

When you say overcoming cognitive bias, do you also mean it will help being able to step back from a problem and think outside the box?

Seeking things out doesn't just mean you read these things on articles or stumble upon them in libraries, it can also detail things like conversations with other people. Either way it is just an example that a guru might have a path that so

Hahaha, yeah that's why you aren't a very good musician yet. I think it's important to make a distinction though because it removes forms of elitism and encourages a friendly environment. People don't learn from "You can't play Flight of th

The book was written for an introductory programming course at MIT. It is more rigorous of a book then most and may not be for everyone starting programming, but the right people will seek it out. It is also invaluable in that it teaches th

A musician is someone who can communicate to other people via musical instruments. You are a musician, you just might not be a very good one. Similarly a songwriter is someone who creates songs, so you are a songwriter, you just might not b

Ahh I misread into your post. Yeah, the article wasn't well written and could've gone into more detail about different things but honestly I feel that an experienced programmer would know a better route for someone to take, for example I kn

No, it isn't a puff piece, he's not going on about how awesome he is, he is just saying "Hey look, you can get a entry job programming without learning how to program for 4 years.", and then goes on to say how he does it. If he spent all of

I haven't had to budget anything hardcore yet just food, tuition, toiletries, and entertainment but it might be better if you find out what you can be frugal about. An example would be that I pretty much live off a diet of beans, rice, vege

Totally makes sense, part of the reason why I play musical instruments so much. I think I'm gonna try doing it for a few minutes every day and see what happens. When I was younger I used to be able to remember everything vividly very effort

Well it's great that they would be creating more jobs but it wouldn't fix the fact that people got bailed out and then used that money for their bonuses.

He has very childish points. He complains about people who want to be paid for work they were contracted for (and then hires them again after not paying them only to complain about it). The client didn't pay is not a good excuse, unless the

No dude! It's cool if what you value in your life is work but plenty of people work to live. Jobs shouldn't require you to put in 80 hour work weeks, that should be the choice of the individual.

MBAs have a place in businesses, but most of the good points argued are just as easily (if not better) argued for engineers. Good engineers are way more analytical than MBAs (that's what they do!), and good engineers are often more ambitiou

I posted this as a reply to Goblin, but I missed the subtle point about it being a point system to 2 decimal places. I also made a point that I think it really depends on what type of thing you are trying to measure, as for bands a good poi

Ahh, I missed that very subtle point. Most of my experience with business comes from a taste of the music industry and reading on (most) bands struggling to make a dime, so my bias says that a good point system is the amount of fans you hav

I think that if the music loses any of it's value to the consumer by being on Spotify, it is that a 'good' artist's music is just as available as a 'bad' artist's music, and all at a small flat fee. This is most likely debatable though as i

Zuckerberg didn't get his "I'm CEO bitch" business card until he was rich, so why should I? In all seriousness I'm 100% sure people care more about the product/idea of your startup more than the gold lettering on your business card. If you

You talk about (on topic of why you need 500 karma to downvote) understanding the community and not posting contentless posts 5 posts ago and now you post this. The irony levels are off the charts!

A big mac would only keep the starving man alive for a few more hours. At least the man with the book could get some good entertainment before he starved to death.

It means that money isn't a good point system. The simplest way to reason this is that many people around the world make tons of money for selling something that isn't useful/valuable. Scams are probably at the bottom of the 'point system'
