   A note to all designers reading this thread: HTML + CSS is the best design tool you could learn. Don't think of it as code, or engineering. Get over the mental block. It's not more complicated than learning Photoshop or Illustrato

   I made a game that may help with vocab - www.esoterica.io. Would be curious to hear if helpful (peter at 3eyes.studio). Fluency in language (and all things) comes down to practice. Converse as much as possible in English. And when you can’t

   Yup, I still have a 5s for this very reason. I dread having to "upgrade" to something bigger... Would probably use a Zoolander phone if existed.

    I thought about applying with https://www.esoterica.io , a word game that people really seem to enjoy (It's a toy! People love it! It could be a platform for knowledge games! Diffuse mental time!) But I'm not sure that

    Just did a bit of research and it looks like 'Architects & Engineers' are exempt from the 'service business' designation, and thus eligible for the full deduction. https://www.pscpa.com/professional-s

    Debugging is the single biggest challenge in my experience for junior devs. It is also the best way to learn. When they call me up frustrated that they've wasted hours trying to find a bug, whether it be as innocuous as a typo, as subt

    Will check out Wordement. I definitely plan on incorporating heads up mode, as I love the competitiveness of blitz on lichess and similar. But it introduces a whole new level of engineering challenges, so first building out solo mode.

    Thanks! Sure are. Words currently go up to 7 letters long... I will probably increase to 10 soon, so long as that size dictionary doesn’t impact performance.

    `0 === false` is maybe the only thing that I actually hate about javascript. Mutability, I understand and thus can deal with it. Scope, no biggie. But resolving a number to false, when all other numbers resolve to true? Inexplicable. EDIT:

    Journal, meditate, exercise _before_ you work. Before you even touch your phone. When you get in touch with the WHY each day first, you're more likely to stay aligned with where you're going.
