Personal experience here, not sure whether this will help. I struggled with writing until I realised that not all writing has to be professional/formal. Casual writing is usually fine. Writing how you speak is also fine. Over time I go

If it doesn't flow, try rearranging your thoughts to make them flow. Throwing stuff out isn't a great idea most of the time :)

UX nitpick: perhaps consider having just one "5-day moving average" toggle for the whole page? It's slightly confusing when switching it off for one graph and seeing all of them update :) Nice dashboard though :)

These sound scary :) Japan's human deaths from murder hornets are "up to 50/yr" (from the article). US's deaths from bee stings are "annual average of 62 deaths"[1]. My rudimentary math (US pop. / Jap

That's weird, all the links are purple yet not in my browsing history... I guess that shows why websites shouldn't mess with standard UX things, such as having unvisited links blue (or at least something other than the 'visit

I’d argue that the ‘bad UX’ he talks about here is good. It’s good in the sense that it fits with the theme. Just as <insert tech company here> has a modern, ‘good UX’ website, to convey that their products are cutting-edge, the ‘ba

And I think that the major cause of this is parents' pressure. I experience it myself (also 16yo) and I see my classmates experience it to. Example: A group of us are doing a CAS project (required for the IB diploma) and we'd form

Yes, and this is why it is hard for those (like me, HS student, 16yo) who avoid social media as a matter of privacy. I personally get left out of friend groups, etc. and when I was applying for an internship, one of the questions was "

Nitpicking, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it "free". There is a cost to get it, which is the price of your Mac.

Have you tried OpenCourseWare from MIT[1]? Tends to have more stuff than YouTube :) lecture notes, and typically assignments as well. Also, some professors from MIT have courses on edx.org. [1](ocw.mit.edu)
