You are right. Ephemerality and velocity is what influence the current state of social. With forums you had a community (often local) with a common (usually offline) interest. You had permanent topics and memorable members. I frequent subre

And how would you spend your time there? Looking for entertainment? Professional development? Smart discussions? Instant connections with random groups?

I'd say Haskell. But please read 'Clean Code' by Robert Martin as well. By reading the first 10 chapters (you can go through them in 2-3 days) you'll be automatically better than 50% of the professional developers out th

If you're optimizing for pure employability and a low entry barrier then Java, but don't expect projects to be too interesting or well paid unless it's FinTech. Likewise with C#. JavaScript + React is a pretty sure bet with p

Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard - it took me approximately 5 seconds to adapt to it. Logitech MX Master 2S Mouse - a bloody masterpiece of industrial design and ergonomics. I type code and do design and this combo is comfortable for both.

I thought about this for months some years ago. Is there a way to bookmark, tag and index only parts of a web page? Like paragraphs, diagrams or bits of video. I often find true gems of advice and insights among mountains of fluff and later

Maybe it had been a wake up call for that guy to turn his life around and somebody just paid his way back into the game. Or maybe his life was independently miserable and the game was the only positive thing. Who knows.
