I disagree entirely. There’s still plenty of stuff to read online and plenty of ways to share writing. Short creative clips are just another form of expression.

I think social media is great if you mainly use it for two things: 1. as a publishing and sharing platform for your art, adventures, and life events 2. to keep in touch with your friends.

Definitely holds up. Recently I listened to an artist/content creator complain about how other creators were copying their work. That's the name of the game now, anything easily copy-able does not have much value in the digital ag

I wonder if there's a way to put them onto a loop instead of taking them down, so the owner doesn't suspect anything?

True, but not everyone lives close enough to work or is in physical shape to bike. Most people should, though :)

Larger community and higher adoption rate among companies. If you run into a weird issue you’re more likely to find someone who’s had the same issue and solved it. There are plenty of established best practices and patterns to follow. Good

Thanks for all of your classes and tutorials, Josh, they really help me understand how to use CSS to get stuff done.

There's a fine line between discouraging questions and making sure new people don't waste the veteran's time with dumb questions. I think a lot of people are scared away from the field because so, so many things in software e

This made me come up with a thought experiment. If you sampled a thousand parents and asked them if they think sex offenders deserve a fair and just trial, what do you think the result would be?

Not everyone was lucky enough to have a chill dealer. It reminds me of joe Rogans bit about how in order to buy this harmless plant you have to interact with a criminal. Oh, and commit a crime. Legalization is 100% the right thing. You can

In moderation, maybe. I can make a good case that the greatest movies of all time were made in the 70s because of that freedom. Jaws, space odyssey, clockwork orange, alien etc

What’s bad about a vaccine passport? Do you think unvaccinated people should be allowed to travel internationally? Isn’t that really dangerous?

Do you think math ability is the most important metric to hire by? I guess it’s correlated to intelligence but I’m not sure if many businesses are looking for intelligence, unfortunately.

Yep! I personally like Airtable as well, slightly better UX (but expensive for large teams)

Not really, but maybe it’s because I don’t track habits or hobbies (go to gym, write, play guitar, etc)

Yes! Am I supposed to feel bad for olympic athletes now? That label instantly propels you into an higher status in society.

Same. Recurring and one-off scheduled tasks go on gcal (pay rent, go to dentist tuesday). one off things like grocery lists, notes, writing snippets go in a journal synced across devices (iA writer in a git repo). I also use a Trello board

You can use an append only text file as a database, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great idea.

I have fine penmanship but no ability to keep handwritten notes organized. Basically once I write it, I assume it’s lost forever. Now that I have a backed-up, searchable, accessible from any device directory of notes I have no issues keepin

If you're on good terms with your family, it might make sense to leave it with them (if you trust them to keep it safe).

This article talks a lot about how to read Twitter and who to follow. I think it misses a very important part of Twitter, writing! I use Twitter as a microblog for publishing my dumb, half baked thoughts. I even wrote some code so I could s

I like reading books because: 1) easier to focus 2) easier to take/draw notes in the margin 3) static content

I tried playing it like a decade or two ago. Couldn’t get past the ridiculous learning curve.

I read everything about this game I can get my hands on. I don’t fully understand why I find dwarf fortress so intriguing. It’s such a pure passion project… that actually made it.

Do you actually finish the games? I’ve tried the DIY game engine approach before, but I never have finished a substantial game before because I get caught up in the weeds.

I used to be naive and think frontend was just pushing pixels around and messing with html. Now that I like to think I know better. I think people generally perceive low-level/backend work as more objective, scientific, and rigorous.

It’s risky to link passion to your career. Look at musicians, comedians, video game industry, etc.
