Books, generally speaking, have changed my life for the better. I curate my reading list and only mindfully read what is beneficial to me.

The more I practiced mindful reading, the better I got at many things (from work, finances, to friendship and marriage).

I can attribute this to what seems pretty obvious - apply what you learn or think deeply about it to understand its meaning to you.

For the last couple of years, I've only had these directories: dev, test and prod.

Whatever I am working on or learning goes in dev, whatever is ready for testing or experimentation goes in test. Everything else goes in prod.

But I have been thinking of expanding on this.

Thanks for sharing the article. I might gain some inspiration.

Gave it the prompt "novel idea" and of course I meant this[0] just to see what would happen. My expectation was that it would seek clarification.

Instead, it proceeded to give me plot twists, genre-bending narratives and premises all based in my country and city.

Plausible and gave me a good chuckle.

Thanks.

In my interactions with Marijn, he’s been very responsive. I’m happy to see this release and wish him continued success.

I learned JS from the second edition.

Incredible resource.

Sad news. I am grateful for Vim and for Moolenaar. Deepest condolences to family, friends and the community.

I particularly enjoyed this quote

>“The main thing is finding something that you enjoy doing, that preferably doesn’t harm others, and that tests whatever aptitude one has, that tests one’s ingenuity,”

This saddened me. Best of luck, truly.

I maintain physical and digital notes on my coding. Since I review them frequently, I find them helpful. The notes help me track progress or try out new ideas. Sometimes the very acting of writing reinforces my understanding of new and even old concepts. I would recommend most developers keep a journal of some sort and review it regularly.

Yes, absolutely!

It sounds like you would find benefit from Linux Mint[0]. I recommend using it for a few days and seeing if it fits your workflow.

Highly agree on tactile experience. I have Zebra Blen 0.7 and 0.5 for everyday use and they are much better than my BIC pens to me.

I would brush up as I go because the motivation would be this book itself.

Hm, I would not call this 'The Lone Developer Problem' but maybe 'Future Comprehension Anomaly' wherein an author today understand their rationale for a design implementation but months down the line, it is as alien to them as it might be to a completely new set of eyes.

One solution is to leave meaningful comments that explain a thought process or design decision where it counts. This nudges future readers of the code in a direction towards total comprehension of the source.

Before I knew that there was an actual term for it[0], I would get a blank piece of paper, pretend I was an esteemed professor teaching whatever it was I was trying to accomplish. I would "ask my students" questions and "hear their answers". Then I would "guide them to the correct path".
