Here's a funny thing. My bookshelf was disturbed this morning with a new book. My wife was clearing out her car and left it for me. I randomly open the book and read a discussion on how intelligent design is more falsifiable than Darwi

I was communicating, reacting, to the disparaging terms you frame religion. I have faith in God, you do not. My faith is reasonable and intelligent. Your views are reasonable and intelligent. Faith is what separates us. Not magical thinkin

I found it difficult when my best friend came to the same conclusion as yourself as we have journeyed together for nearly 40 years. I am still a magical thinker as you put it. It helped me the day the penny dropped and I realised he had bec

Seems ok now. I just dumped the data on ethercalc. Never used their system. Just a quick way to share.

This is my very christian understanding of life and work. It took years for me to research/conclude so you may find some value in it, regardless of your religious views. My calling in life is to be a disciple of Jesus. In this I look a

In my experience mindfulness meditation is prayer. It seems more hip now to call it something else. I pray every morning which involves me both sitting quietly and using words to talk to God. Sometimes I meditate on a verse from the Bible I

I have two close friends who found themselves in your situation but are now in their 50s. One remains single and the other doesn't. The one who married chose someone who initially surprised me. He had issues and I didn't think it

Another not cool kid here. I've been running my little Saas for 12 years on fixed price cloud vms, €18 total per month (initially shared hosting). I'm sure I will ever hit my providers 20TB monthly traffic limit. I settled with ru

I'm 50 now and deliver cloud training. The discipline of passing one or two more difficult tech certifications a year gets my brain pumping. It's surprising what information the brain can store. When studying intensely I do 45 min

I found it helpful to remove shares and unnecessary bank account apps from my phone i.e. I kept my main bank account, the rest are checked monthly on the desktop. I find the need to login to a desktop app the best medicine for quickly losin

The robots are too busy working in the Cloud, using ML and AI to analyse Big Data, to flip burgers.

My self-worth comes from the knowledge that God loves me. The evidence for this being teachings from the bible and my personal walk with God over the past 35 years. I spoke with a nice lady this week who knew me when I was a child. Her youn

I also prefer your comment to the post. The most successful people in business I know are very bright and hard workers. I like the fact that the writer of the original article is showing some humility. I don't think we should signal ho

You can't predict the future (I will caveat this by saying I have faith in my religious beliefs, and what the future will look like, but this is another discussion). Although we can't predict the future we can observe well known f

Agreed. My friend said to me, "do you believe in cryptocurrency?" I thought to myself no, and sold it. I can see now my motivation was greed and fomo. Neither of which are values I live my life by.

I read the bible in a year every day. I think as I get older I find it more fascinating. There is not much new under the sun as the book says, regarding human affairs.

I moved from recording my weight daily to weekly. The habit of weighing yourself daily can have negative outcomes. For example, you go on holiday and worry too much about your weight as you can't do your weigh in. My friend has taken t

I remember a recruiter sending me some CVs. Googled one of the candidates. First result showed the candidate was wanted by Interpol for fraud (confirmed true). Enough said.

I recently found myself saying, "my son used to write tickets, now he checks other people's tickets". I am long term IT. Now my son has joined the world of IT I get how people have no real concept of what we do.

I'm 50 and the Queen represents a more resilient past. The two things I hear loudest from our culture today are anxiety and the desire for success. I was just saying to my wife we grew up during the troubles in Northern Ireland, experi

Expect work to start slow and then ramp up over time. This is the way of internships and big companies.

The same one I read every day. The One Year Bible. It's about a 30 minute a day read. Excerpts from Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament. It reminds me wisdom doesn't just live in my head. It also reminds me much ha

I was just watching the news and a deafblind medical student was talking about her hope to become a doctor. I was inspired by her spirit but wondered how this would work in practical terms. There seems to be a cultural shift towards support
