    Adding to this, it’s hard to know if you are actually getting “better” because it’s so hard to measure. My approach is to try to get better between reflection periods while also scheduling days for self reflection on that goal.

    I personally can’t stand reading Twitter, but I do like posting jokes and comments for my small group of friends. I built this to delegate posting to Twitter via GitHub actions from markdown files in the repo. https://github.co

    I agree, but a lot of it comes down to other peoples perception of you. Sometimes it is worth doing those dumb esoteric challenges that provide no business value whatsoever. Example: The CTO really wants the table on the careers page to ren

    If the company IDE is annoying to use, then rewriting it is probably a net time saver. The time consuming part of coding is rarely typing the code, afterall.

    I would prefer useful knowledge over fantasy knowledge almost every time. But I would like to understand why you value that trivial knowledge even after admitting it will not affect your life in a measurable way.
