   The clear requirements of take home tests make them my favorite. They allow me to express how I work: get a list of reqs, walk away and think about them, make some decisions on directions, then let the code lead me. I strike the style requi

   YouTube recommended this to me and I actually watched it... When he got to the end and talked about his site I realized it was on the front page! I was confused because I'm not into game programming, but I watched it anyways. I was sur

   There's no need to qualify your comment. The way you described decision making is clear and evocative. In fact, you helped me visualize how I either prune or increase the amount of my possible futures based on the emotional valence fro

    Wow, that is weird! What's your favorite book or resource to learn more about the brain? I've looked at the deep end of neuroscience Wiki and it is super overwhelming.

    I bet training material development is a huge cost! That's a great idea. Licensing might be tricky with major mooc's but Odin project and freecodecamp might be MIT licensed... The accountability, structure, support and network see

    I've tried roam, paid for hypernotes and set up tiddlyroam. I sorta get it, but they feel so hard to use. I got excited about hypernotes, especially because of how intuitive the graph view is. I lost interest, probably because I can&#x

    I think the upfront + refund + commission structure balances the incentives. It's something that is missing with ISA structures, which unevenly optimizes the school incentive. An upfront cost is table stakes. The trainer is incentivize

    My likely oversimplified understanding of dopamine is that the brain is constantly simulating the outcomes of possible actions. Simulated actions that result in "success" states generate dopamine, with different pathways generatin
