Definitely agree with #1. If there's one way I've changed as a programmer as I've gotten more experienced, it's that I DGAF about repeating myself.

I mostly aced my math degree. The keys for me were: 1. Read and get a basic understanding of the material before lecture. 2. Attend every lecture and take notes very few if any notes. Most of what you need is in the book and math is about u

I don't really see much of a need for preprocessors w/ css modules, post css, css in js, etc. It seems like preprocessors are becoming less popular, not more.

I don't really see the benefit to reading books on investing. For the middle to upper middle class, it's extremely straightforward. Avoid taxes wherever legally possible. Invest in index funds and bonds w/ low fees. Don'

I'm not a minimalist for any moral reasons. I'm a minimalist because owning things stresses me out. I could move to the other side of the world and carry all my belongings in a backpack. No storage, uhauls, etc. In fact, I have do

React breaks away from the traditional MVC model. MVC may work great on the server, but I just don't think MVC fits with modern UIs. Component-based architecture is far more powerful and scalable
