Did you hear from that team lately in regards of how they're doing? Do they still put in 60+ hours a week or did they switch to a more balanced work life?

The message may be heard, but putting it into practice is the more difficult task in my opinion. Changing a whole company's (either big or small) policy regarding meetings/working hours/etc... is quite a challenge Still, the

I read Rework and Remote (previous Jason/DHH books) an although full of common-sense ideas that I applauded, they were quite similar in terms of content. This new book seems to be kind of a mix of those previous books.

Losing a few months once in a while may be bearable, and even worthwhile as a positive experience towards a more selective criteria regarding future workplaces. However, I would argue that depending on one's need and situation, time is

Agreed. Until you do not enter a startup, it's hard to know how it actually works. During interviews and preliminary hiring-talks they may sell the pitch as if everything were wonderful, but potentially, the unfortunate reality could b

I acquired Pbrt in order to learn the basics of computer graphics rendering in a practical way. However, I struggle even with the most basic things (math mostly). Do you happen to know of any resource that provides a good mathematical found

First thing in my mind when reading "sednoid" was "mathematics!". As for the rest of the terms, they are new to me due to my non-familiarity with cosmology in general.

Thank you for the response! I am currently reading the "Programming Rust" book. My problem is not on the concepts themselves but on applying them: I am finding it quite hard to think of some small project to apply the learning. In

This is quite the answer. Newer generations should realize such things as respect, self-discipline and responsability. In the meantime, enjoy life the way one prefers.

There is this book called CSS The Missing Manual, by David McFarland. Although I did not finish it, I started it with regards to learn CSS properly (like you) and started to grasp some basic concepts (could not finish it though, due to proc

I remember Path back in college. It was not that popular but its mobile app was beautiful, top-notch in terms of UI design and animations back then. Sadly it did not take off, which on the other hand is comprehensible, having other options

Knowing a stack deep is rather difficult when one attempts to also learn and keep up-to-date with the newest technologies. Or were you referring more to system/protocol stacks instead of programming languages/frameworks?

I cannot stress enough how true this is when talking about types of engineers. However, both types are not mutually exclusive. There may exist some overlap between them, but of course, an engineer may feel more comfortable being one type mo

Thank you. Will try to follow your advice. Even though your points seem obvious, it is very easy to miss them when in a situation like mine. I'll just start small when learning or starting a side-project for the sake of focus.

Thank you for the response. I skimmed through the CBT definition and it seems to fit my case up to some point. Will check it more in detail. As for the 'clock is ticking' part, what I had in mind was that somehow I need to learn a
