Having a good code review process can make code reviews easier, more enjoyable and higher quality.

I'm getting "Error establishing a database connection" after following this link. Maybe the developer who wrote the blog post can set a personal KPI of "99% uptime for blog site".

For me, it's about the process as much as the outcome. I don't write code only because I want to achieve some distant future goal. I write code because that's part of who I am in the moment. I enjoy typing, I enjoy problem-so

The 4% rule may not be entirely reliable. See: Ben Felix’s YouTube video on the topic. I’d be aiming for a 2% rule and holding some extra cash (call me paranoid).

It seems good for performance, and probably only that. I don't see anything in the pitch about readability, maintainability, extendability, security, usability/accessibility or portability.

Yep, great idea. Today I broke my work into a whole list of commit messages, then made the changes one by one.

In response to one of the responses (that seems to have been deleted) that's a really good point about doing it out of interest. I think I am interested in the fundamentals of this field, at least enough that I've been reading som

Only a quarter through Satya Nadella's 'Hit Refresh' and it's already giving me food for thought.

Peanuts are fucking awesome. 45p buys you 1200 calories worth, and they're packed with nutrition. I'll take a few handfuls of peanuts over an overpriced refined sugar-laden piece of crap any day.

Bay Area is one of the most expensive locations in the world. Been living in London and 12k USD (8.5k GBP) is roughly doable even here. Obviously not luxurious living, but doable.

Yep, I have the same goal. If/when I manage to get to $600k (~12k p/year assuming 2% yield) I'll take 3 months totally off work of any kind, just recuperating, then another 3 months to plan out the rest of my life.

Yep, I'm currently going in the opposite direction. I'm now spending less on food and clothing than I've ever spent in my entire life. Rent is about the same as before, but I'm going to find ways of reducing that as well
