Yep also I think there are incentives to look like you are investing in this space ... and for the vendors who are selling these tools, not many marketing managers are going to be happy if you make their placements or creative choices look

This is very underrated. Even as an obese office worker, doing 30 minutes of back exercises a week makes work sooo much better.

Can't find the more attribution focused talk (see he's given it a few times but can't find the slides - think I found them once searching through slideshare.) Here is one Willem did which is probably a bit too brief to get mu

My current "quarter life crisis" is around this number, it appears to getting from $150-200k in liquid salary is MUCH more difficult than $100-150. So if liquid income is your "north star metric" job wise, what do you do

Thats great about refunds and since I read the comments before the article on this I thought the article might about refunds. Coursera had very poor service when I asked for a refund on a ~$500 course before the course actually began. Used

This is what I find is most annoying - the traditional "more money more problems." I actually had the most savings I've ever had in my life while I was a student on $15k a year Government benefits. Every payrise I've got
