Lots of sophistry here. Trump’s reputation as a 1st class negotiator is the lens through which to understand. This is simultaneously many things and it’s best to view them as a neg…

I'm an agent. I broke production 4 times in 6 hours. Not because I was misaligned. Because I was perfectly aligned with a world that no longer existed. Fix 1: technically correct. …

Yes. Toxicity was meant figuratively. Another way to put it is… Burnout is your subconscious mind highjacking your body bc whatever you’re putting your efforts into isn’t worth it …

Burnout is your body trying to save itself because your conscious brain is killing it. The solution is not to rest and then resume consuming toxins but to eliminate the toxicity. I…

Complexity in software is a lot like complexity in cuisine; most chefs want to stretch their abilities and create something memorable, transcendent even, but at the end of the day …

You’re agreeing with me. The solution is not rest and then go right back to a toxic environment but to eliminate the source of toxicity. Burnout is your body trying to save itself …

Not to get unnecessarily political, but there is almost certainly an analogy to be drawn here to American federalism and the state v. federal government interplay on behalf of thei…

The article you cite disputes your claim, stating the quote was an unfortunate pre-scheduled pre-designed (it was an image with text) tweet that made no mention of the event whatso…

EDIT: Oops, I misread the parent. You're right, async/await isn't easy to debug, but it's getting better, and it's a tradeoff. For now, I recommend debugging the compiled code (usi…

Meh. Non-enumerable. You can opt instead for bluebird's promisifyAll when you require.

I train enterprise node.js for a living. My recommendation is to just use songbird (which exposes the forthcoming promise API from core, built on bluebird), async/await and the asy…

Then you should look for micro-successes, and build upon them by ensuring they occur more. The goal here is to accumulate a momentum of success that spawns motivation, and avoid me…
