One of the things that I consider a must from a programmer: 1.She should learn to draw if she does not already. 2.She should learn to do a podcast if she does not already. Basic documentation is very easy to do, you just talk in a podcast e

The writer talks about Hemingway, he should learn from Hemingway to express himself in less words. Hemingway learned from news reporting. I personally know people that writes professionally, including Nobel prices in Spanish literature(I or

Measure yourself. If you believe you can work equally good with sleep deprivation you should test it. Start measuring how productive you are hour after hour, WRITING down(very important) not only how much you do but also your energy level.

Linux needs professional designers as it needs programmers. It remembers me to Enligtenment old themes, a genius programmer but horrible designer, the theme the KDE people are displaying is hideous, not consistence at all. The people that d

Remove "Patriot Act" or the fascist law obligation of any American to collaborate with 3 letters agencies by force. It converts any American worker in a spy of the Government.

Bad scientific code is bad, and bad programming code is bad. Every time you do a clever thing, you have to do three things: 1-Document your smart idea on your code. 2-Document your smart idea, preferably on drawing. 3-Document your smart id

This is not as rare as the article says. In fact, giving my experience around rich people I would say it it the normal thing. Most people believe what mass media tells them. The media talks about the actors, but not about the producers, the

I suppose it is because 2 facts: 1- Bigger than 100% import duties on some of those countries. 2- Very small middle class, who are the buyers of IKEA. I have lived in Brazil. Only two classes there: The ultra wealthy and the poor. I was ult

More than 10 years working from home. I really enjoy it. My advice is: find someone-partner with someone else that loves to do and is good at what you hate, and vive versa. If you find yourself procrastinating in some area of your work, you

"It's extremely difficult getting your spouse to respect the "working" part of working from home." No, I used to believe so, but it is actually very easy. You tell her you are working and no you can't, and you

The problem is that you can't compare $100 purchasing power in USA with $100 in a remote village in Peru. Imagine that instead of $100, they give you $10.000 and things change. Would you refuse $1.000 free money even if someone earns $

The article is not very good. At the time (1943) the war was already lost for Germany(not for Japan). The US had entered the world fresh after watching people in Europe kill themselves for more than 2 years, and US industry was just too pow
