Yes, from 5min to 50min a day, depending on my schedule. I don't use apps, just follow my personal practice. If someone ask me advice on this here's what I say: Start small, like 5 minutes. Although "serious" meditation

I am. I want good services to live, to continue through time, to not close, and to fullfill their promises. Although I can't deny the utility of free-unsustainable services, the more time pass, the more I'm inclined toward paid se

Yup, I also came to the same conclusion. Have you tried Webstorm/INtellij in such cases? I know they are good (using webstorm for Haptime, my product, and was a long fan of IntelliJ idea in java). We're using Java so the price is

Ahahah, I'm comfortable with JS, TypeScript and Babel might be a solution to "hide" this, although personally I would have liked to know if there's a way to improve the way we write plain JS.

As mentioned in the thread, only TeamTreeHouse and Basecamp (this one only when you are there for a while) allow to have a 4 day workweek. I strongly believe it will be a good asset for any company on many level. First: If everyone is worki

I think the worse that can happen is the 3rd options, although I agree that we have no information about "How much bad is hiring a bad engineer" When I'm asked about how I'd hire I always look for adaptability, creativit

Great response. I am from Italy and I really care about productivity. What I realized is that rarely more hours results in better work. The thing is: If you care about quality, then being too much pressured or fast-paced might lower quality

Facebook is probably the only platform who could solve "photo sharing" in the way it was used to be. There was a time when we passed our usb-key (or even "worse", cds) to have all the photos of a trip or event. Now, mome

I second this too. I wonder why are many advices in this topic don't consider the relationship between the OP and his users. That trust has a value, and OP should ever destroy it.

The missing out sindrome is normal. It's part of growing, and I believe everyone will sooner or later experience in some areas of life. But this shouldn't fake reality. Dig deeper into the stories of the many rich people and you&#

Yes, you got the point. I didn't want to draw a distinct line of good and bad. If work gives you pleasure, a total one, it's more than ok to spend time enjoying it as long as this doesn't affect other parts of your life. Eve

this is such a great post, it should deserve to be on the top. I see many bad comments in this topic but I believe you described an honest example of what it means to make good sacrifice and live a good life. I am on the lookout for a new j

The more the better :) I just used thesis as an example mostly because I tried it and used it. No experience with Genesis/X that's why.

I believe that, even though some of the code is so old, Automattic is doing a great job moving the game forward. Take the Jetpack plugin for example. It is a super-great plugin with many features that are good and low on memory in the syste

They have found a way to innovate something (scheduling meetings) that wasn't seeing innovations for sooo long. It's incredible and I can't tell how much marvel it gives once you see the video and understand the semplicity. T

I am amazed by how many chats are coming out. I wonder what's the difference between Bleep and Telegram, are they all adding value or are they trying to differentiate small niches of the market? Also, with all these free services I&#x2

People will copy a good product almost anytime. It's "easy to do", but the thing is that they can't copy the drive to innovate the market, which is way any good product was built in the first place. If he keeps innovatin

Just found this and thought it would be nice to share. It's a nice collection of all the things they do at Thoughtbot, and while many might be already known for some people it's refreshing to have them all in one page. Also, it&#x

I think many of us feel the same way. Before Photos.app there weren't tools that allowed people to have their entire library almost everywhere. Yes, you could sync all the library to flickr, and it would work like a charm (btw they upd

You are absolutely right. On a sidenote this post made me remember a small part of "The Art of Learning" (Josh Waitzkin), where he shares that on chess the opponents would always try to make him feel anxious. To fight this he alwa

Yep, I'm listening to the audiobook. Being a non-native english it's a nice work. At first I bought the book thanks to many suggestions but didn't realize it was a philosophical book, it is sure training me to new levels of l

Many people already joined in with great comments, but I'll also add mine. For now Quiet seems more about getting to appreciate the differences between introverts and extroverts and how getting to respect the way introverts "works

Quiet by Susan Cain, great book about introversion and why we have the "Extrovert Ideal". It's really fascinating to see how introverts have their qualities and how Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance - Robert Pirsig: F

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't read it. So basically we need both Cachet for displaying the status and another tool to check it (it wouldn't be very good if the tool was on the app itself otherwise it might not be effectiv

For anyone reading this article or wanting to dig deeper into the subject of extroversion and introversion checkout "Quiet" by Susan Cain. It talks exactly about introversion and how it has its values. BTW: The introvertion/e
