I’m in the middle of working through The Rust Book, and I haven’t written any serious code with it yet, so interpret this through that lens. When I looked at rust code before, it all seemed a bit weird. I couldn’t immediately understand it,

Hey, thanks for the comment, and respect/kudos for the reflection here. I do agree with you that the writing was unnecessarily impenetrable, especially for a topic that seems geared towards guiding people away from something unhelpful.

This is an unhelpfully shallow dismissal, and not what I took from the article. The author acknowledges the usefulness of such tests, but cautions against the tendency people have to reduce themselves to a set of rigid traits. And I tend to

Complete transparency and clarity about how data is used, stored, what systems get to see it, and minimizing privileges would be a starting point IMO. Ask yourself the same question: what would make you feel comfortable handing the keys to

There's a lot implied in that quoted sentence that I didn't expand on. The point more broadly is that if our society is willing to accept alcohol as a recreational substance with downsides, and more generally the idea that consumi

What is it that you disagree with? It seems that this is primarily a matter of: some people naturally take to programming, and some people have a much harder time with it. The same is true in many fields. Music has its virtuosos and natural

I think that on balance, legalization is a good thing. Certainly it should not be illegal when alcohol is legal. At the same time, I'm about 30 days into quitting entirely after realizing that I couldn't have a healthy relationshi

The book "Learned Optimism" was a life changing read for me coming from this kind of background. It includes exercises that start to rewire your brain. Highly recommended.

As a person who tends to write very detailed responses and can churn out long essays quickly, one thing I’ve learned is how important it is to precede the essay with a terse summary. “BLUF”, or “bottom line up front”. Similar to a TL;DR. Th
