I think you should just enjoy your workout.

Hi, I'm Ulises and I'm a full-stack junior web developer with a background in film and motion graphics, looking to join a great team of smart people making awesome software. You ca…

For copy, I'm getting a lot out of "Building Great Sentences: Exploring the Writer's Craft" http://goo.gl/9eH5q , which breaks down the craft quite well.

You can use a color wheel to come up with color schemes, and I'd try using ems instead of pxs to handle whitespace. Whitespace is negative space, used for contrast to draw attentio…

You don't need to tap all the fiber running through the US to track down someone. That would take too long. Much easier to put "Wanted" posters up with "$$$" on the bottom and wait…

If you're a Rubyist, "gem install cheat" ( http://cheat.errtheblog.com/ )

What's wrong with different ways of explaining the same lessons? What if you don't know what text-objects are in the first place?

You probably just need to aim a lot higher than what you're shooting for right now, is my opinion. Does this quote not get you pumped up? "The computer programmer is a creator of u…

I was actually going to be an animator before I picked up "Transcending CSS" by Andy Clarke at the uni library.

KJ feels pretty awesome, thanks!

You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how quickly he catches up once he's on the job, if he really wants it as bad as you say. I say give it a try for a few months, and then m…

Try putting this in your .vimrc if you don't want to reach all the way to hit the escape key imap jj Come back to vim :(

zed's http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ is one of those, I think.

You got good at Vim because you used it for over 6 months, not because it had any plugins turned off. A distro like https://github.com/carlhuda/janus provides sensible training whe…

CoffeeScript all day, errday. I actually started making fun of myself for being all giddy when writing some JSON day before yesterday.

You're all almost making me switch. Almost... Quick! Help me, vimsters.

Thanks, I tried that too, though it was a few years ago. What made you think it was too simple to work though?

I think perhaps comment points should count for more than the ones you get for story submissions, have they tried that in the past before?

Let alone the switch to Emacs, but I've been trying to implement GTD since college, using all sorts of tools, and I've read the book I don't know how many times, and I still feel l…

The best resource on why and how to use grids is: http://www.amazon.com/Systems-Graphic-Systeme-Visuele-Gestal... It's primarily used as an aid for visual layouts, but it took on t…

You can barely taste Vodka when mixed with Red Bull, and to begin with, just practice smiling at strangers; within two weeks you won't be shy anymore. From then on, just remember t…
