It's nice to believe in superpowers, but this is a matter of scaling rather than one of a high constant value - even if you are 10x 'faster' (which does not mean better in many cases), when the issues piling up are scaling su

IMO testing's biggest strength is in allowing you to delegate remembering all the use cases of an API to some code, instead of having to look them up in a checklist, or worse, having to remember them all. Even if the tests are covering

You are missing the forest for the trees. Reaching for Google and SO as your first impulse when confronted with a problem will deteriorate your ability to find your own solutions in the long run. Use it or lose it, as they say. And besides,

According to the article's terms I think boilerplate can be referred to as "trivial decisions", e.g. "there's no elevator in this building so I gotta trudge up the stairs" - there's no real decision there

I can't quote a source, but I recall one study correlating higher IQ with higher risk of psychoactive drug usage. Maybe your brain is amazing enough to not be hindered by smoking pot. Maybe the performance decline is not noticeable an

Regarding the 2500 vs 3000 kcal thing: move around, lift weights, knock uglies with your partner multiple times per day, do whatever floats your boat in order to increase your BMR by 500 kcal per day. Regarding the "worse off" pa

It seems like the article downplays the role of exercise - maybe I'm nitpicking, but how is this a valid argument: "Over a six-month period, though, adding exercise made no difference." I mean who wants to lose weight over si
