I remember https://www.linkdrop.co/ tried to do this and the Show HN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19960313 ) appears to be this exact idea. However, it looks like they shifted to using an extension

How do I know the content creator knows anything about marketing? In fact, the presentation of this (and lack of sales copy, testimonials, previews) makes me wary of getting information from this resource.

Sensationalist headline. 1. Sample size was 130 2. Hasn't been peer-reviewed 3. "What this will mean to herd immunity will require more data from other parts of the world," Huang Jinghe, the leader of the research team behind

This is certainly a useful lens through which to help you focus, but I've found that I'm now ONLY motivated to do things because of the possibility of financial upside. Have you encountered the same?

This has been a fear for 30+ years now. And it seems like at the end of the day, for most companies, the decrease in cost of labor does not offset the increase in costs resulting from miscommunication, poor training, lack of care in quality

Fully loaded costs (health benefits, 401k matching, cost of computer, HR business partners, etc.) for an employee are roughly 2x what their salary is. So yeah, 200k is a good estimate.

Agree with this sentiment. With the exception of very specific topics that I've encountered in the wild but have no theoretical context on (e.g. Async JS), I have never been able to learn from a book. Tutorials/blog posts are grea

I really don't get the goal of reading X books a year. The impact of reading comes from DOING THE THINGS that the books recommend to do. Often I'll speak to folks who call themselves "prolific readers", and it'll be

This. It is unbelievable how much cutting down on caffeine helps with monkey-brain! I switched from coffee to tea with honey and have a much smoother energy than before.

As someone who interviews, you'd be shocked how many "senior engineers" can't write a function with two for-loops.

Off-topic, but Gregory - I was a participant in your C4Q Python workshop several years ago! So good to see that you're doing well in academia, and great article. Agree with many of the points you've made regarding writing-- as an

This is great! Only thing I'd ask is that if you're going to allow direct playing on the site, to enable 1.5-2x speed.

This is a great point. It's $400 in sales per month. I'm willing to bet hosting, domain, any paid ads, any fees from leanpub, etc. makes up at least $100-200 a month. Probably be better to just do freelance/consulting on the
