This post is derived from his latest book, Messy. I haven't read it, but it looks interesting. The other day there was another article also based on the book that I thought was good (on problems with automation): Crash: how computers a

Yes, I do! I actually had pretty bad RSI almost 11 years ago (not in my wrists, but in my arms), which have made me use a break program, a split keyboard and a pen-mouse. These changes, especially the break program (using MacBreakZ now) hav

Data point: I just turned 50, and I am happily coding away as a developer. Couldn't be happier - I still love to code.

Something similar works when coding too: begin with ugly code that only solves a simple case. Then keep iterating and refactoring until it is good. Trying to get it right from the beginning just means you don't get started.

I am using MacBreakz [1] to remind me to take breaks and do some stretching throughout the day. I have not any back pains, but had severe RSI several years ago. A break program was the most important component to get better, along with an e

I think the question of whether anybody can get good at programming is very interesting. I often hear "anybody can do it, but you can only become really good if you enjoy it". So then the question is: why do you enjoy something? A

Not that much. I remember the importance of sleep when you're learning (well explained in the course), and also spaced repetition and the importance of recalling the material on your own. I also remember that the instructors were very

I just turned 50, I still code, and I still love it. In fact, I can't think of I job I'd rather do. So, no, it doesn't have to end.
