This piece really resonates with me. There’s only one piece of advice I can give which eased this problem for me: to not take it personally. This isn’t about you: you are doing a role for a company. It’s just business.

I have benefited so much from Vim and I am forever grateful for the incredible work Bram has done. Thank you so much, and rest in peace.

As someone who’s career started doing ‘stupid programmer’ things, it’s 100% worth investing time in learning how to do a lot of the things which are “too smart”, purely because a lot of these smart things were built to solve problems which

This is a great article. I also recommend K&R Chapter 8 if people wanna know more. Do the exercises and it’ll just click.

Pretty much what I do as well. I got a Notion account with links to all sorts of things from useful timestamps in videos to chapters in books and docs. It’s been incredibly helpful in contextualising my information when I gotta go out and a

-g is my favourite flag. You'll be surprised how many people just don't use the debugger when they're doing C.

Indeed. I found Reddit + Discord sufficient to meet others and make good friends (to this day) when I was self learning Maths.

CS Grad here. The focus is mostly on algorithms and math, because they underpin everything we gotta work with afterwards. One may argue that this is fundamental, and everything listed is an application what we learn.

This is one of the most important problems to solve IMO, especially for people who have left the traditional academic system. I feel that having the pressure to perform under examinations, as horrible as it was, at least got some level comp

I am doing the Math version of this currently to catch up on the gaps that my CS education missed out on. If you do plan on doing this, I cannot stress how important it is to manage expectations and be consistent with the workload. There is

I do find improving my communication skills has shown me that it's a science which helped me come to terms with some uncomfortable truths. One truth is that sometimes, you'll have to get used to lots of different people (some who

CTCI is the only reason I got my job, so I am thankful for her work. It's a tough juggling act: making sure you're interview ready and being a good programmer who can do good code are two different things and I find myself spendin

AI, just like code, is a tool to get things done. My take is that advancements will enable some incredible creativity that can help to solve problems like what you stated.

Not a book but an essay (There Is No Speed Limit): https://sive.rs/kimo Really exposed me to the idea that you were in control of your learning. If we really need a book… Ulysses by James Joyce. It was a model of pure creat

I fully agree with this article and that’s why I have a note taking system. I recognise I have my best ideas spontaneously but a solid note taking system is what helps me pull specific details of what I am trying to do from my past experien

My professional codebase actually really upsets me - sometimes I dread going on holidays purely because I know when I return to it, it’ll take me a week to get over the feeling of just wanting to quit. It’s really nice to see this post put

I never said it wasn’t a stupid reason. Everything you said is accurate but… it’s the reason the decision makers who decide what features the app would have give to us. And so, that’s why our app doesn’t have that that.
