Yeah, I've never typed any of the code examples of programming books.. I just read it to understand the concepts. Often I can go really fast when most of it is familiar, but when something catch my attention I work hard to decipher and

It's not being lazy, it's being paid for A and working on B, totally different thing. If I hire a freelancer to work on project A and charges me X$/h, but instead work on project B and still charge me for that time, it's

I mean, it's illegal and you're lying to your employer.. so in the end it's about your morale sense.. it doesn't matter much what other people do or think of it. A somewhat stupid analogy is like saying "I'm ki

One great way is to focus on personal problems (instead of "ideas"). Solve it in a very hacky way for yourself and then share it with people, see if it helps others. If it doesn't, no big deal, you've solved an annoying

I didn't even know you were at Facebook, it wasn't mentioned in the gist so I don't think it's fair to say you've misrepresented Facebook.

The irony of the game is that having money in the bank let you hire great people and pivot to the right idea, but to raise money you need great people and the right idea. So, MAYBE, it's not that bad of a thing to raise even if you don

Can be a freelancer. You're your own boss, you can pick who you want to work with and you're in control of your time, but you don't need to risk it all on a "risky big idea".

For viewing the code, whatever is your favorite editor. To comment on it, go talk to the person.

Timer 15 minutes. I use that all the time. I would use it (siri) a LOT more if it didn't suck so much.

From my experience (a.k.a tried and failed..), I'd rather take a bit more time to glue a few amazing open-source tools together than to use an "all-in-one" framework that will screw me down the road. Over the years, I've

Maybe a sign that things are too coupled through. Can make the same argument on any project, I.e. wanted to add small feature, ended up changing 27 files.

SICP made the biggest difference; it really changed the way I approach mutability and state management in everything I write (To name just this).

There's one thing on reddit called "multireddits" which is an aggregation of multiple subreddits; so I picked my local news subreddits + world ones and this is my daily news. I like it very much. Only complaint is that it see

Something that would be helpful is "How is it different than X?", such as bitcoins or whatnot.

For what it's worth, I just turn off the chat. Exceptions are less popular streams where I know the chat is great. Pro-players also often hang around other pros streams, so you get to interact with not only the streamer but their frien

I like it. Basically the design choice was to focus on threads within channels, instead of simply channels. Slack has that thread feature but I never use it because it's hard to follow. I guess slack could copy them and have a "te

One huge benefit of UUID is how you can safely create them while being offline, and then sync them at a later stage without conflicts.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Program (it's written in scheme but it's mostly for convenience and its lack of syntax). Definitely the best book I've read on programming.

Do you know why/how is it faster than say RabbitMQ? Is it some tradeoff in features for instance?

One straightforward way is to use the new sha only for new Git repos. Old repo could be migrated but it would require "re-commiting" everything to the new repo.

Keep in mind that google's mission evolved over the years.. but at the beginning, they still had a clear mission of making it easy to search the web (compared to the portals that forced you to their bullshit content).

Think of yourself in 5-10 years from now. Where do you want to be career wise and relationship wise? Then backtrack from that and do the first step to make it happen. You're very lucky to not be tied to a specific location so use that
