Its a great resource, but not for total beginners, however if you know basics of html, css and javascript this is hands-down one of the best resources out there.

I failed to learn for the past 10 years and I am complicit. But partially as a self-taught, you have no clue which resources are good and which are not. Recently all mainstream "learn to code" sources realised just making you memo

That's the point :) It is not. We are mortal, that's just a fact of life. I do agree with the comment OP though that both: - Maximising every day is bad - Ignoring life is bad In the end its all about balance and content as the to

The thing is, it can be both stress and revelation depending on how you look at it. Part of 4000 weeks is a chapter that is called "Cosmic insignificance therapy" which goes along the lines of nothing we do really matters in a gra

Didn't this recently happen with StateOfJS? Was kind of weird not seeing it hitting the top... even though it's not that controversial.

I think you are looking for someone to make a decision for you. This is not what career coaches are for. This is usually a quality of bad friends. You have all your options laid out on the table already. Your interests will change, this wor

So much this. After 14 years in a workforce, my happiest moments were in software SMB (joined at 10 people and left at around 100). Never felt like work. We were just building something cool together as a team on the same page. Turned profi

Pretty much this. LLMs are still limited, perhaps by design but it is so. I recently summarised an article by Maggie Appleton on some of the shortcomings of the model and the implication here: https://twitter.com/kirso_&#x2F

Curious, looking back did you see how your thinking change given you haven't written in a while and re-read your posts? Also is it available online?

I believe its because the person wants to gain a benefit from the post instead of being empathetic or giving his/her take on it. Well, not everything is about you. Be kind and empathetic. Merry Xmass everyone!

This + its really dependent on location and context as you said. If you are outside of US, your chances of liquidity event decrease even further. I think people always divide into two camps here, its either hard work or luck but the truth i

I posted this ages ago, but stats are against you: https://twitter.com/kirso_/status/1314138323951050753?s=20 In the end, you just need to place enough bets without going all-in. If you go all in, you always have

I think its hard to prove without a very large statistical data set as we see that 8 out 10 times might IPO but in the next 50 years (if that would be possible) it might be 0 out of the next 10. IMO the reason is that things change. People

The secret to life is that there is no real secret. Everything is just about going and doing stuff, experimenting and tinkering with things, choosing one area of focus and then doubling down on what works. This applies to everything. Relati

Think its important to note here that you can use any tool and technology here (incl. pieces of paper by topic). I found that most prolific thinkers never used a PKM but have their own and usually very simple systems to take on information

I guess depends on the context, I walked away from interviews where people were non-professional, rude or just plain wasting my time due to poor job description and completely different expectations. On the bright side, you save them time t

I believe this is not unique to a lot of people unfortunately. Loads of friends != satisfaction from the sense of belonging and meaning. I don't have an answer for you, but just trying to get to people where you can have meaningful and

I always ponder, after the years of experience - wouldn't you just leave the interview if it feels like torture? I never ended up in a good place when it felt this way...

The issue I have with mastodon is that it seems to cater to tech people, but there is an entire outside world. https://mxb.dev/blog/the-indieweb-for-everyone/

I always wondered, if you hate leet code - wouldn't you just reject the next step of the interview if the company suggested it? I totally love this suggestion btw, but I think it serves when you are doing this continuously rather than
