   I've got a Thule Covert DSLR backpack and it's the bomb. Seriously if anyone is in the market for a backpack with dedicated space for a camera I can't recommend it highly enough.

   Attention to detail was definitely my number one gain from an art / creative background. Can't overstate the importance of a good critical eye for detail.

   I'm a self taught designer / photographer / developer. Worked in design and photography for about 7 years before slowly transitioning into dev work. I feel like my background in design and photography has helped tremendously

   I just finished at Hack Reactor in SF and honestly had a better experience than I could have hoped for. Disclaimer: I don't have a job yet as my cohort just finished a week before Christmas. As for me, before HR I had been a designer f

   I'd have to disagree, despite being a proponent of occasional mushroom use. Any significant dose of psilocybin has the potential to turn into a VERY overwhelming experience. Especially for a first time user. As others have mentioned I&

    Totally agree. I spent most of my twenties thinking I worked best at night and couldn't handle waking up early. Fast forward and now I'm up at 6:30 and in bed by 10:00, substantially more productive than before.

    Siddhartha by Herman Hesse is my current go to gift book. It's so short that anyone can dive in without being intimidated. I don't think it's possible to read Siddhartha without coming just a little bit closer to enlightenme

    For me, absolute silence is always my most productive environment. You might find throwing in some earplugs or noise cancelling earbuds (Bose makes some great ones) to be a productivity boost. Edit: More to the actual question, my favorite

    Seeing the Discover Meteor and Kadira guys embrace React with Meteor is definitely making me want to dive back into the framework after being very hesitant over the past few months. It's great to see ~someone~ with a clear vision for t
