@rkhazzam @awilkinson Strattera. It's like a wonder drug. Far less (if any) side effects compared to stimulants.

@awilkinson Yea, but not with much success. The stuff that’s effective makes me miserable elsewhere (sleep, appetite, mood). Any suggestions?

My brain sucks. Within approximately 20 seconds of having an idea, it disappears into the ether. Today, I used AI to make it 10x more powerful. Over the years, I've had to cobble together a productivity system. For years, I've used David Allen's Getting Things Done framework. The key idea is: DO NOT TRUST YOUR BRAIN. Every idea/thought/task gets captured into an "Inbox" for later processing: adding a context (where you need to be to do the task - computer/home/etc) as well as a project (if the task is multi-step). It's an incredible system, but it requires extreme discipline. Which is something I do not have. As a result, my inbox is usually a garbled mess of 250 Siri reminders. Once a month, I break down and go through them all and try to turn them into something resembling projects, but my system is often messy and moves in fits and starts. This has been the bane of my existence for years, and I've never had luck delegating it to an assistant. Over the last week, I've been using AI to finally conquer my GTD system so I can focus on DOING not ORGANIZING. Here's what it does: 1. New task gets added to Todoist 2. Task title sent to @OpenAI 3. OpenAI de-garbles the task title and makes it clear and actionable: "email chris about SHA and comp plan" becomes "Email Chris about shareholders agreement and compensation plan" 4. It also adds an appropriate context label ("Email"), adds it to a the right project, and estimates the amount of time it will require (priority number). 5. Automatically places the tasks on my calendar based on priority using Reclaim. It's insane how many hours of manual labour this has saved me already 🤯 Tools: @make_hq @todoist @reclaimai

Tony Hoare: null was my billion-dollar mistake javascript: *takes long drag on joint* ... what if we had, like, two of them?

@hmemcpy O(well)

My favorite Big O complexity is O(who the fuck cares)

@hmemcpy Must be something different than twitter.com/kitmerker/stat…

@Oleksandra_A If remote is not the only option, consider applying for wix.com/jobs/locations…

The answer is always traverse

@replit Production code should solve a problem. Not create 2 more.

@replit Please stop coding “for the purpose of coding”. At least at your jobs.

Does one code to code or does one code to not code? #code #programming

@anildash I can't find a single reply with "Javascript" and "IntelliJ". Was it nobody's first? 🤔

@dkarlinsky Stack and memory are fun and all... but could Soviet calculators do THIS???

This Soviet programmable calculator was was my first exposure to programming. It had 105 steps of volatile program memory and 15 memory registers! Needless to say, I was hooked ever since :) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektroni…

@allspaw @labria Reminds me of this

It's been said before, and it's worth repeating: more often than is acknowledged, follow-up "action items" to today's incidents can and do become contributing factors in tomorrow's incidents. Narrow fixes based on shallow understanding of incidents represent new vulnerabilities.

@MonniauxD @ShriramKMurthi Removing lines of code is pretty much always good work. Writing lines of code... not as often 🙃

Temporary workaround

Had a great week exploring some FP internals. Check out our blog post!

Tomorrow is my birthday! Comment with a gif that summarizes our relationship!

@hmemcpy I trust that TLV municipality counted every teabag

Meanwhile in Tel Aviv

@jdegoes I wish it would support @bazelbuild 😭

A language with a lot of power is ought to be misused and misunderstood. However, can be a an amazing tool for good old quality engineering
