The Big Nerd Ranch. Omg how this brings back nostalgia. I drove (at the time) 20 hours to Georgia to a remote location and spent an intensive heads down week coding and not sleeping. The whole team was quite memorable.

Wow! I read your blog! This approach was at my original thought. I then talked myself out of it in way of "scope creep" telling myself I could get more done that I give myself credit for. Why not bring a few devices just in case?

This sounds interesting. I have built some tools in the past to parse for specific occurrences (determined by the text around the search criteria) to determine what might be most important to know from a given text and produced a Summary

Actually, for me Vyvanse wasn't even in the first three medications suggested to me to try first.

I am on Vyvanse and Adderall XR. Vyvanse has a much cleaner feeling to me and it is easier for me to skip a day (if I want to, like staying home and playing with kids) where as with the Adderall I cannot skip a day without harsh side effect

We have an internal bug reporting process where internal developers talk about why each others code isn't working for them. Perhaps I need to add a function to accommodate a specific item we didn't anticipate. This isn't a bu

I am often slower than other developers. However, I produce far fewer inconsistencies (bugs...), my code is highly reusable, and my documentation skills make it easy for someone to come behind be and know what is going on without asking any

I use spaced repetition for preparing for exams. It works quite well for me along with an active recall notebook that I can easily read through many times a day.

For me it is the distraction free environment. I can deep dive into the material. It also feels a lot like real paper. Having all of my thoughts on various topics, school notes, books I've read, therapy notes, etc.

I worked for a company back around 1999 that used MS Access to do the entire companies payroll. Including the CEO. Once I was awoken at 1am because payroll wasn’t running. In my sleepiness I accidentally manually committed a few database va

Interesting because my co-workers always ask me to change __bold__ to *bold* even though both are correct. I tend to switch between * and __ depending upon how my writing is structured. Anyone else feel strongly one way of the other?

I have owned a reMarkable 2 since January of this year. While it isn't perfect, I am happy with my purchase. The software updates are stable, the build quality of the hardware is solid. I love the distraction free writing and this is t

I used to live in a very large house. It didn’t make me any happier. If anything it was a pain to clean and maintain. Now I live in 200sqft and honestly I’ve never regretted this change. My friends find it comical.

I’m sure that has something to do with it. But this guy was a lefty and he still went after the 10.

Of course! We were in a league of about 18 people and when a guy made this everyone bought him a shot. I do remember him sharing though and being driven home. It was talked about for months afterwards and the local paper did a story on it.

It’s easy to leave a 7-10 by coming in either very high on the head pin or chopping it right down the middle at a slower speed. edit: typo

I grew up in a family of bowlers and have bowled as a hobby and professionally. This is really hard and almost complete luck. I’ve seen the 7-10 made by sliding the 10 pin across left and also deflecting it off the back drop. I’ve never see
