When the only thing you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. You’d be surprised at how well screwdrivers work on those funny-looking nails with the threads and the slotted heads. Snark aside: learning a second language is not rea

This is how I've learned! I'm about 8 years in with vim, but I'm no vim-journeyman; I just learned enough to get started. Movement, find-and-replace, splits. The basics. And every time I wonder if there's a better way to

I feel like while all of these productivity "hacks" and systems (like Pomodoro) may have some merit, they're completely unnecessary. It's really not too hard to: * Work. * If you lose focus, be mindful of the fact that y

If that’s what you got out of it, you may have missed the message. To me, the “we invented enhance” thing was just an illustration. I read the article as a tale of how choosing certain technologies can affect the way that applications are d

You aren’t missing anything. It’s just “outrage logic”.

Definitely lost a fucking tire to a pothole yesterday morning at Fischer and Springwells at 30mph. I drive that road every day. Just happened to be in the wrong lane. (We are getting there... but we have a long way to go.)
