What's up with freaking programmers of all the people in the world thinking they're in a position to give far-reaching life like this? Of course my perception is biased because this profession is overrepresented here but these kinds of posts keep popping up from time to time and reading advice on how to live your life from someone who spends all their time in front of a computer screen is so cringe. Even the wikipedia (lol) source he cited on "Ego depletion" has an entire section questioning the external validity and reproducibility of that concept.

Yeah dude, I wonder why. Go write a blog post about it.

That photoshopped picture of Bill Gates holding a potato is genuinely funny though, lol.
