I feel the same way. When I moved from Windows to Mac, I nearly burst into tears due to lack of simple keyboard shortcuts. And it was surprising to me given how geeks prefer Mac over Windows. I expected Mac to be more keyboard friendly and

"Since then, researchers have found that in darkness most people eventually adjust to a 48-hour cycle: 36 hours of activity followed by 12 hours of sleep. The reasons are still unclear" This statement was interesting to me. I wond

Not to start a religious discussion, but I think the Hindus have this idea that the world is created, it goes through a set of 'ages' and is destroyed at the end of the last age. The whole cycles is then repeated again. Sounds a l

It's been years since I have actually read a programming language/framework book end to end. Or even done an online tutorial from start to finish. When I started learning iOS, I started with Stanford's CS 193P lecture series

Thanks both to you and thenomad for your replies. vijucat, your answer reminds me of Eckhart Tolle[1]. I have a tendency towards depression. And among other things I have listened to Eckhart in past to deal with it. And he helped me greatly

You are right design is not just frontend. And the design of a good codebase is a whole another neuroses for me :) Here, I did mean 'how things look'. (The longer I have been programming, the more difficult it has for me to work w

I do try to do that. I have wondered if it some type of psychological problem I have that I want to be good at everything and thus am always feeling inferior. My brain is filled with all these ideas that I want to execute but I want them al

The 'no code satisfaction' aspect of web frontend development has been an issue for me whenever I have tried my hand at it. The chaotic, un-organized nature of the code drives me a little crazy. But at the same time it increases m

Printouts of often needed code snippets is a great idea. I think it would help me to put up printouts of 'context-switch-snippets'. Like when I need to go to iOS programming after doing Ruby for a while, a quick checklist of the s

I like eating alone. My favorite way to eat is to eat while reading something interesting. A good book somehow makes the food more enjoyable. I think as a culture we socialize too much around food. People meet, date, celebrate, have family
