Scientific study shows that highly developed neocortex in software developers is still responding to reptilian complex's commands. Hence, dark clouds in sight. (Inspired by cloudout's headline)

You may be the type of person who is undecided by nature and likes to "go with the flow" depending on your mood, prefers to improvise rather than sticking to a plan, easy going and that's just part of your personality, you're a procrastinat

It allows people who go more in depth into things (i.e. writing long articles, producing complex content) to use the more shallow masses to broadcast (retweet, comment, like, follow) their stuff. So everyone can can participate.

When you read a newspaper (a thing of the past) you read headlines. If a headline catches your eye, you read the heading/intro, if you're still curious you read the article. Twitter has allowed to converge all the headlines that might inter

I had this problem and I simply didn't get internet at home or on my phone. I would access the internet at the office or I'd go to the library (and get free books/DVDs at the same time) or coffee shops or my parent's house. This forced me t

I might feel the same way if I had kids, but I'm scared to death of having children before finding my true vocation. I think if I have kids and find myself "forced" to stay at a high-paying job I didn't like, I would be an unhappy slave. Pe

I haven't been diagnosed with anything "yet", I have trust issues with mental health professionals, I'm a high-functioning person. I perform above average under pressure (when starting a job for example) and once I get recognition from my b

Every time I've put money before my beliefs I've regreted it and I'm getting tired of falling for the money. IMHO Facebook was doing better before they sold their soul on wall street. That's what it comes down to, selling your soul.

Read about BPD, you might need consulting if you fit the profile and you feel like this is ruining your life. I felt like that and that's where I'm at right now.

It's important to challenge your ideas. How many times have you shared what you thought was a great idea only to find out it had major flaws? A second opinion is a must IMHO. Murphy's law is also a healthy self-check method.

Forgot to mention that if you travel the world you'll find inspiration for what to do next. I did this before but ended up stressing for money and took another high paying job in exchange for my soul. I'm hoping not to make that mistake aga

I'm in the same situation dude, except my background is in mechanical engineering, structural analysis, which I find very limiting intellectually and limiting in what I can do with this skill. If I were a full stack developer I would read b

oh! and IMHO Malaria pills are a scam, so don't fall for it. I carried a mosquito net in my backpack and slept in it whenever I was in a "high risk" area. Malaria mosquitoes come out at night.

I traveled Asia during 8 months and I don't think there is anything that prepared me for my trip. I learned through experience and by meeting other world travelers on the road. Reading is an important part of world traveling, since you have

If you're concerned by slums, I say start by looking at solutions for the ghettos in your own country. The third world is not very far. Kudos for your intentions and beware of the media.

There is a whole moral debate around the words "good" and "bad"; and I think that words like "developed" and "growth" have to be weighed in that sense. "Developed" might mean better quality of life, but it could also mean pollution,noise, s

Poverty is a misleading word. You can be poor with a 20K$/y salary in one place and filthy rich in another. It's not because some people live more simple lives that they are poor. A poor person is a person who cannot meet its basic needs. Y
