Common guys, read the post again! The message here is about the form, not the content. Sure, one could find the best book/videos on the internet and shape himself till the final sensei form is obtained. But, unless motivated by some life changing events, 90% of us clearly lack the spine for keeping close-to-max effort for longer time periods (including me aswell).
To "be yourself" is not the same as "be blunt and ignore any basic social norms".
Unless your true self has no tact, no social interaction skills and only thing it truly wants is to lay with all the women in line of sight.
It is not a call to degrade ones all being to instinct/raw emotion level behaviour. Shape yourself as an individual by thinking, analyzing and making own decisions rather than copying everything that seems(!) popular, cool, intelectual.
On the other hand fixing "is_foolike" will be pain to fix if used in many places.
And - "This non-linear reading process requires more mental focus than reading linear code." - isnt't this a god thing?
Good abstraction requires a bit more mental involvement and much less monkey-job when fixing the code.
