A bullet journal style thing. I have a list of goals for the year that I rewrite on the top of ever page (page a day). Then I have a break down of tasks that will bring those goals to life. From there I make my daily todo-list. It's

My daughter (10 years old) has a saying.. "The wolf cares not for fair." It is perhaps one of my favourite sentences ever.

I should say.. they don't need to be more patient than most other trades. To get good they need to practice and learn. What I do think coders need to know is that they are building on quick sand. That bit is the only thing I think we

Too true.. But is there a trade you can't say that about. I suck at guitar and skateboarding. I suck at car repair and carpentry.

Not sure a doctor would agree with that last sentence. Or even a carpenter really. Cut that bit off at the wrong angle and it's not something you're coming back from. Cut a line of code wrong and the test fails, and you try aga

Sit in a room and point at a spot on the floor. You are a pointer, pointing at nothing. Attempt to put shit where you're pointing and you have shite all over the floor. Malloc creates a bucket. Now when you put shit where you're

I never teach people to code. I ask them what they want to build, and then we work to building that. People don't need to be patient. Beyond assignment, if, for and while, just make sure they use good variable names and function nam

Loops are easy.. You have 3 chocolates, and for each one you take a bite. If it's spicy filled, you stop eating them. While there are still crayons in your bowl, the colors in the rainbow grows. "what time is it mr wolf?" W

In their defence.. Most modern languages don't really make use of these. I mean recursion is almost never better than a while loop (stacks don't love it), and pointers... Yeah everything in JS and Python, Elixir and Ruby is reall

I'd bring it closer to shop class. They might make a decent birdhouse/python app, but after that most will just put the knowledge on the shelf.

See it's not really ego. I'd say most people could be good at coding. But most people could be good electricians, and plumbers and mechanics, and carpenters, and ... well and heaps of other things. It's that it all takes tra

I love the bit about China accessing wechat user data. I cannot imagine that happening to an American or Australian company. Isn't the assisted access bill specifically just that. I mean that's it's whole reason for being.

I'm good with the screen size. I love it in fact.. It's the perfect form factor for me. I've got a larger pro from work, and much prefer my air. The only caveat, is harddrive space. XCode is a hog, so opt for the larger HD

Yeah.. rails hits this same nail with jobs.. I use jobs in a synch manner, and it's great. It's a rather functional way of working within an OO world.

Totally.. and adding read replicas in the mix too. Even rails allows you to stipulate the DB each model lives in, in a rather trivial manner.

There's a third option to the inherent equal worth vs freeload. That is, that people are just not of equal inherent worth. I'm a coder, and I do not believe for an instant that I am as valuable to the population on the whole as a

Well said. I get it in SO, but here? Upvoting or downvoting doesn't make sense. We're all smart and we can take being wrong. Strong opinions held lightly.

Totally.. I mean things like rails are a bit over 15 year old, but elixir is 10 year old.. GraphQL was 10 years ago too. ReactNative was in 2015, so 7 years. Docker was 2016. Tailwinds was late 2017. Startups happen all the time, and that i

I suppose you could argue it's really just a mind set.. I took from it the idea of classless. Which I've not really used. It would mean you'd have to have a deeper knowledge of the tags that are available. Which as you said

I think it's rather personal. I never plan to retire. I want to die coding. The extra cash isn't really a motivation. I've quit a job that I sort of liked, to take a job that paid 10k less, but was something I ended up lov
