One time, when I had just started on a legacy project and was struggling to understand how things worked and where the bug was, I printed out many many pages of the code, booked a …

OP here! That's a wonderful question, sorry it took me over a week to notice it and reply. A lot of the practical debugging happens with debugging tools on the computer but every n…

> using a notebook is antiquated and we have better tools. So far, I haven't found tools that beat pen and paper as tools for thinking _for me_. I still do write a lot of digital n…

OP here. Exactly! So happy to read you managed to pick up the core gist of the story. It's important to find the tools that work best for YOU. I partially wanted to write this beca…

OP here. I don't often do very complex software plans like that. My working notes are often on a smaller scale like individual features or so. If we need to document the full archi…

I do almost no organising of my paper notes. The only thing I do is that I add a date to the corner of the first page of when I start making a specific note and I keep index pages …

OP here. > It's slow to write Only to an extent. I write fast enough with pen and paper that my thinking is the bottleneck — which isn't really that fast. I don't need to write dow…

OP here. Last time my blog caught attention in HN, I was told I'm "living in a fantasy" and this time it's "pure romanticism". The tools you shared are of course important and I en…

That's where the heavy pruning comes in. If there's too much coming in, it's important to get rid of the ones that are less important or most often skipped. For me, the serendipity…

For me, RSS is the solution to FOMO because I don't need to worry about missing new posts because some algorithm decided not to show them to me or because I didn't happen to see th…

My comment above about living in a fantasy was a reply to the root comment's notion that reading through RSS feed in the morning is a romantized, unachievable fantasy similar to a …

I wrote about many of those reasons in the blog post. Cutting off the middle-man, slowing down the hectic life and staying in touch with my internet friends are a few of those reas…

> it unavoidably leads to content that is created purposely to game that algorithm, which ultimately corrupts the user experience. This is the functionality that really drove me aw…

> Being in charge of your own feed does not mean it will remain lean and sweet. You're right. It does not automatically mean it. You have to maintain it just like anything else in …

I really like that approach: provide an opt-in for people who need or want the extra features that require login (for example, cloud sync or saving history in cloud or whatever).

I'm always interested in checking out new tools. That's how I noticed Warp in the first place if it wasn't for the account requirement, I would have given it a go to see if it woul…

In my experience, print statements should be the starting point because they offer a fast and easy solution and can help you first of all confirm that you're looking at the right p…

I haven't used LaTeX enough to really have an answer, sorry. Hopefully someone else who's a power user can comment!

I love this idea. As someone currently living in Helsinki but having been an expat before, having support in finding the way at the beginning is so valuable. I hope this will evolv…

This is such a great initiative. I work as a dev at Futurice and I've been enjoying the opportunity to the fullest. I would be tinkering with stuff and releasing my projects as ope…
