Maybe this will ease my OCD brain of feeling like I need to get get an undergrad in CS to continue by programming career and "earn my stripes". Maybe all I need is exposure to algorithms to feel like I'm more fit for the job.

This sounds awesome. How did you first start? I've wanted to do something similar, but haven't got a clue where to begin.

I hope you mention this in interviews. I'd imagine it fits your brand very well, as it says a lot about how you approach things. I wish I was this motivated at that age.

Meal prepping between my work has done me wonders. I'm still being productive, but it's mindless enough to the point where I return back to my work feeling refreshed and more efficient than if I had stuck it out.

Thank you so much for that quote from Kierkegaard. I've been trying to put it into words and haven't been able to. It's nice to read it as such.

Purely anecdotal, but how are you comfortable with the real estate the screen offers? I understand it feels amazing in your hand, but it wasn't until I actually picked up a working iPhone 4 that I realized I could read maybe only two m

This is not a rhetorical question, I'm just trying to better understand how this process would work. Who would be designing and brainstorming these laws in the government?

One thing the younger kids are doing is making separate accounts altogether. I know for certain I follow my younger brother on his "family approved" account and not his "you're my close friend" account.

The 15-inch 2015 Retina model is no longer being sold on their website, too. It was there as an option for some time, but it appears this new update called for getting rid of it. I was planning on saving up to finance that as my next laptop

I can't emphasize how important it is that companies like Snapchat and Instagram have made this such a big business. Remember when people would Tweet out with text that they were doing this? For example, your friend Tweets: "Wow,

Your anecdote about forums really hits home. I went to a small, private elementary school with a class size of about 30. We were the only friends we had. When I was in fourth grade, I created a forum for my classmates to use when we got hom

Unedited content is more referring to the style of posts. I joined Twitter in the phase where people would Tweet "My Chipotle server gave me a lot of rice today." Now of days, if you're an average Joe, that's a Tweet mos
