Big fan of trackball mice, particularly ambidextrous trackball mice. They're the only ones that don't give me shoulder issues. Scrolling still needs to be perfected with this form factor, though. I'm working on seeing if I ca

Yes, the main killer factor for programming is being able to pair your coding skills with another skill (e.g. business/domain knowledge, management, marketing, etc.). Many programmers don't do only programming as time moves on. Th

Every time I've gotten food delivery, I regretted it. Late, cold and expensive. It's usually faster if I pick it up myself.

It's why the war on drugs doesn't work. You either decriminalize or have a strict zero-tolerance policy like Singapore. Otherwise, tons of poor people and minorities are arrested on drug charges, while suburban and rich people jok

Looks good for ideation. Could potentially be more useful for an agency or creative professional building logos. They can make vector art off of promising mock-ups. Also most of the generated images need to be simplified for sake of a logo,

I know two people personally who dropped out of PhD programs due to fraud in their departments. I never asked them too much about it, but I'm imagining it's related to not wanting to lose potential funding or waste years of resear

Do you get neck issues, though? Looking down at a laptop isn't a great position for your head. I usually use a laptop stand to keep my eye level with the screen. Also, having a laptop spend hours directly on your lap may not be good fo

Boston's interesting in that it feels more low-key than NYC or Silicon Valley. Most of the biotech companies feel a lot more secretive and I don't see as many public events. The valley has a vibe in that everyone you meet is invol

There's an amazing interview series with Nasir Gebelli, who made some of the first Apple II games, coded the first three Final Fantasy games and a 3d game in assembler, as well as Secret of Mana game for SNES. Highly recommended! http

I went to Vegas earlier this year. The taxis were far better and cheaper than the Uber. Uber's are also a lot more expensive now. I think UberPool was going to be Uber's killer feature. It made taking Uber's more regularly af

Programming work is also maintenance. You need people around to put out fires or keep things up to date. If you’re only paying based on performance, the high performers will do a big project and immediately leave to somewhere else. The lowe

Stress can help build capabilities, though. E.g. people who run for the first time may get some paid, but if they keep at it in a smart way, it's just their body adjusting to the new demands placed on it. If they never do anything, the

I liked OkCupid a lot more than Tinder. You could write more about yourself and personality played more of a role in matching. I had an ex out of OkCupid. Tinder on the other hand values looks over everything and Bumble feels like LinkedIn

I've done it. It was pleasant. It felt like a throwback, because they had a dinner service where you dined with three other guests (or two if you're with someone). If you have the opportunity, I'd recommend it.

That's what I love about Twitter. It's designed for power users by giving you a lot of controls up front on how you want to interact with the platform. It's not that rewarding if you're not actively curating your feed. Y
