I wrote a an HTML template for a friend that looked like the Drudge Report (conservative news aggregator that looks a certain way). I posted it online for free and got a number of folks asking for a WordPress version. I coded one up and sta

Mostly second on this. I've heard the phrase "if you're worried about it and trying to do the right thing, then your kids will be fine" and that has helped ... assuming I can manage my anxiety properly!

This is a really good idea, thank you! I find my least productive time with a device is on a phone. If I'm on a laptop, besides working, I'm writing or coding or doing administrative tasks. Rarely am I just wasting time time there

2 years old would be quite young for regular screen time, IMHO and from what I've read. We mostly kept our kids off of screens until around three, with some exceptions. After that, we use designated "screen time," which has,

Thank you for this, it put into words my uneasiness with this practice. Our household definitely has too much stuff and we always seem to be at battle with it but minimalism just feels like a mirror image problem.

Totally the same for me RE negative thought processing. I find that I can really dive deep on the negativity and it doesn’t end up being all that helpful. I find that I have to be mindful that I’m not just wallowing in it but moving towards

I’ve been journaling for over a decade in one form or another, more in the last several years than ever before. I write short blurbs almost daily to describe my state of mind, what’s been going on, gratitude, notes about what I’m working on

I just finished this book recently, prompted by reading this great piece. It was an interesting book. A little slow in places but the author describes her internal thought process exceptionally well. If you meditate at all, this will be fas

I had none of that anxiety when my mom had a stroke last year. She survived but lost a lot of her capacity to speak and will to live. It’s been devastating but I’ve had a chance to spend time with her and tell her things I never thought I n

I would be sad to know the exact number but that immediately came to mind the first time I read an article from you. I desperately wish the world wasn’t like that and I’m sorry you have to deal with it.

Your blog always blows me away with how different and fun it is. I only dream of being that authentic online. I love the call-outs from the specific personalities. So great!

I've been writing online since 2008. The tangible benefits have been: - I wrote a simple HTML template for a friend that mimicked the style of a popular website. I wrote about it and put it up for download. Someone asked if there was a

Hard same on this. I didn’t think about it for the first few years of being a parent but, several years ago, I deleted all photos of my kids on social media, as well as a few random ones I had on my blog (followed soon after by deleting all

Taking this point even further … at the point which user hostility starts to affect their brand in a way that costs money, they’ll stop doing it and be heralded for listening to their users. At one point, this whole idea made me furious but

I agree that I don’t need most of the new features but, in my experience working with it almost daily, the web experience has only gotten better for me in the last year or more.

Completely disagree. The desktop app helps me greatly to create digestible commute and PRs. I use the command line for 99% of the actions I take but the desktop app gives me a much better visual of my changes and has helped me catch uninten

I’ll second this one. They don’t try to be cute or too funny, it’s just written in a casual tone. My only (fairly minor) problem is that it’s not always clear where to start. Once I’m in the right general place, I’m pulled along really well

I’ve never considered that. After watching a documentary about Jim Jones and Jamestown, I don’t think it’s that remote of a possibility. Most of what he said when things started going downhill was non-sensical babble. With just a single, si

I feel your feels here and whole-heartedly agree that the “life is short” trope is unhelpful. But the book that this site was based on is not that. In fact, I would say that the week count that the site give you is antithetical to the book’

I cannot agree more. I listened to it all the way through twice and it had a profound impact on how I see the world. It feels like an essential guide for living in the modern world. I look forward to reading it on paper to see what else I c

> I think that becoming a parent fundamentally changes who you are. Agree 100% by adding “can” in there. The OP’s feelings are very similar to my own early on. I still have those nagging thoughts now and then but I know now what to focus
