Nice website! Light and concise. This is probably a me problem but I read “Southeast” as Southeast Asia. Not the Southeast region of the U.S. I kept scrolling down and got confused for a second while it hit me what “Southeast” actually mean

Yes! Gregory Hayes’ Meditations translation is definitely easier to approach than others I’ve seen. Would recommend as well. I would also recommend A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine to get a good intro/overview of Stoicism in

The Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. In my mid twenties, this book helped me pay off all my student loans and build an emergency fund with 4-6 months of runway. It changed the way I think about money. I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Seth

I don't know how many times I have read this set of forum posts on pixel art throughout the years. It is always one of my go to resources when I get that urge to build a 2d pixel game. Well, I haven't finished a game and I can&#x2

I've gotten used to having my phone on silent and most notifications turned off. I leave text and phone notifications on so I can see them on the lock screen when I decide to look at the phone. For moments when I actually need to be aw

The 9-80 schedule is one of the things I miss most about working for LM. Along with the great coworkers I had. Now I work for a typical software company, and I realize I took the flexibility of the 9-80 for granted. I got so much personal s

To lift 200lbs, you start with 1. Then increase as you get stronger, get better form and become more confident. To reach your goals, you need to make incremental adjustments and gains. One step at a time. Take notes and look back at what yo

Thanks for sharing. I just signed up. I’m a member of TIG as well but that community seems to be fading. I haven’t touched gamedev in some time but looking to be motivated again with a vibrant community.

Yea. Tim Ferriss has put a lot of effort (and money) into this type of research. He has brought on several guests on his podcast to discuss this subject. He has also talked about his past depression which, I believe, drives his passion towa

I agree with the edit. I think some people just enjoy running or lifting more. I used to run regularly but I never looked forward to it. Even with goals like 5Ks or half marathons, I didn't enjoy the experience of improvement. I had to

I understand this sentiment as someone that never understood the allure of watching racing in general. However, I have recently been watching F1 with my father-in-law who is a huge F1 fan due to his own car and racing experience. At first,

The first time I got an email from "Ivan" or the "Tom" from so and so company, I opened and read it. However, a couple lines in, I realized it was an automated email and it went straight to the trash. I don't unders

I always wanted some way to bookmark sections in podcasts that was worth a revisit. The problem was that I almost exclusively listened to podcasts while driving (pre-covid) which meant I needed a mostly-hands-free solution. If you have some

I completely agree with this. It isn't just managing the day to day or the current project, but it's managing the growth of the team for the future. Seeing the results of your work may take days, weeks, months or even years. Also,

I can spend hours in a used bookstore. I keep many of the books I am interested in on a list and I eventually find them on the shelves of a used book store. I usually come out with unexpected items as well. It is always a joy. If you are ev

I agree. I like to force myself to practice boredom. I leave my phone in my pocket while waiting in line at the grocery store or while riding public transportation. Sometimes, during lunch, I go outside and just sit and end up watching the

I don't think anyone can define what it means to "succeed at your life" other than you. Is more money important to you? It's OK if it is. From your #1, it doesn't seem like it is that important. Everyone has a diffe

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I think I will give FF a try. I can understand why the address bar / tabs disappearing while scrolling would be annoying but I'll see if it is enough for me to revert.

Do you have any suggestions for blogs that come from a perspective of a learner, rather than a teacher? I feel like DevLogs in the game dev corner could be an example of that.
