#2So many interesting articles I'm never going to read because of the paywall. I'm curious how people who see this actually create an account to gain access?
I personally don't think it's worth giving up an email address and spending the time to do so to read a blog post.

What I usually do, is I have what I call a “public” email. This is a gmail account I use to log in in any paywall website or any service that requires an account to just see some content and I don’t care who has that email, as I just ignore any email that arrived to that account.

Use an archiving service like archive.ph
The article isn't too much longer past the paywall and basically just says "don't try to, just familiarize yourself with the relevant code to a specific problem and you might wake up with the answer"
"How to program in your sleep" is a click baity and inaccurate title for the content.
A better one might be "on programming in your sleep"

#9I get those programming dreams but have always really disliked them, and find I wake up feeling like I didn’t actually sleep, even if I was in fact asleep all night with code flying around in my brain like tetris blocks. I’m not sure I’ve ever woken up with a great idea after one of those nights.
I do find, however, that solutions to sticky problems pop into my head in the shower, during a long steady run, or after a walk in the park, which I guess is a similar phenomenon.

Agree. I’ve even tried “seeding” my last minutes of consciousness with other things so that I don’t dream about eng problems (hell, even dinosaurs?).
Feels highly dystopian that I’ve reduced my brain to an advanced calculator.
