Without any doubt The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard Hamming. I have accomplished more in 5 years after reading it than I did in 15 years before. Much of it I attr…

People do not understand exponential growth.

I remember feeling like that when I did not have clearer goals, it felt like I was drowning in the middle of a vast ocean and it did not matter which way I swam. What I needed was …

Writing a book on how to set up a simple but flexible tech stack that will scale without issues. Backend, frontend, testing, team comms, CI/CD, cloud stuff etc. Mostly FOSS. Friend…

If you think the banks keep 1:1 reserves, you are in for a big surprise. Ever heard of Fractional Reserve Banking?

> When using it for work, did you ever get stuck because of a lack of libraries..? Nope, I did find some to be less well documented than ideal, but pretty much everything had tests…

I used it at work[0] for a few years and it was great, but I did not scale that project to large number of people, mainly because it did not need to. Folks at Grammarly have a writ…

I cannot notice any delay at 100+ wpm, but one thing I had to get used to is typing key combinations faster/holding the key for the right duration, I still lift a bit too fast a fe…

I have Ergodox EZ and absolutely love it as well. IMHO Dampened Cherry Red switches configuration is almost as good as Topre if not better. The ability to program it has been the k…

One could argue that this is a huge part of any serious undertaking which requires intense focus.

Also: - Just like on WP, you cannot set some things to open in other browsers. - No extension support, because they know perfectly well what many people would install first, an add…

Not your desired behavior precisely, but Emacs does support recursive edits https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RecursiveEditPreservingWindo...

Creating iOS games for my daughter - hugely satisfying, moderately complex and insanely fun.
