I use it, although I admit not religiously. Writing down my tasks I need to get done, then 'estimating' them in 25 minute chunks really helps me get my brain around the concept of time, just how little of it I have in a workday, a

Although I am impressed by the work, I dislike these writeups. In similar bug bounty posts, a user will post all this brilliant setup code, these tools I never heard of to decompile binaries, view source, get through obfuscation, etc. Then,

We need specialists too. We need the folks who can tune x86 assembly better than -gcc 03. We need people who can write segfault free C++ code, and we need people to fix the Rust borrow checker bugs http://blog.ezyang.com/201
