> Slow down to go faster yes! I had a similar problem with bigger projects. I used to start coding too early before understanding the problem completely. I have decided to write an…

On a meta level, order alone and no chaos means no order at all. You need some chaos to compare order against. More particularly, let's continue your thought experiment. There is s…

Don't. Piracy has its awesome use-cases if not abused. I grew up in Iran where we have access to very little. Had it not been for piratebay, I could not educate myself on so, so ma…

I don't know but sounds likr assassin's creed.

Yes! I have just discovered this recently myself as well: whenever I wander off I context switch to something else I want to do instead of reforcing focus: multiple books, work, an…

Write and Journal. Whenever I feel unmotivated and cannot move forward, if I am not tired or burnt, then it is because I don't see a path forward. That is because my thoughts and i…

This reminds me of a couple of cute Yahoo! answers story. In a past life I was misplaced by the high schools sorting-hat counselor into the house of civil engineering. I was motiva…

I had a similar problem with StitchFix way back when; after finding out about my profession they truly pigeonholed me into a generic software engineer's fashion, almost caricature-…

Depends what you mean by bad; it hurts trust. For instance the Appengine to Appengine 2 transition is a particularly painful one for a consumer who built an entire business on it a…

I am Iranian, and I have to admit, taarof has been an interesting subject in my social interactions. With other Iranians, I have no problem reading and sending social cues; with no…

and then there are those who don't have a close button and make me open up the console, delete that DOM element and restore the scroll. Had to once so it on a website that was teac…
