Someone needs to flip it over mid load.

I feel like the only people that "like" javascript or those that had it for their first language. Its needed, its better than it was, but compared to just about any other language its a total mess.

I site based on tech and science and you are confused why the majority or pro vax? Did you ever consider you just flat out wrong?

I allow my kids to plea their case anytime they disagree. They get one shot so i usually remind them of that and they usually disappear for a bit thinking their case through before coming back. Now i keep an open mind and hear there side on why whatever i just decided was unfair or why i was wrong.

If its a good case (or they argued it well) i change my mind. IF not then the answer is final. Period. There is never a second go. Now this seems harsh but you can't negotiate with terrorists. Once a decision is made the sooner they learn its whats happening the sooner they quit that trying to wear you down thing.

By focus you mean jumping around and screaming/cursing at the furniture. Agreed this helps me as well.

IF when discussed usually means fasting daily. So maybe your food window is only between 4 - 8 pm. The anti-aging stuff you saw/read (if its the same that i did) was more about actual fasting where you might not eat everyday and here they did find some linkage to aging.

You are only eating 500 calories a day? That seems really low but i am not an expert.

Thanks for the follow up i have ordered the book. I didn't find deep work lacking but still look forward to reading the shallows.

Excluding chasing the shiny object (the javascript race you mentioned) lifetime learning is part of the job description. If you don't love to learn and to apply the things you have learned the tech industry really isn't for you.

Also 1-2 languages... that's really on the shallow end most devs, myself included, will learn a lot more than that and each new language is much easier to pick up then the previous ones.

However as you get more experience, at least for me, you tend to stick to a handful of languages that each cover a domain.

OO, Functional, Dynamic/static variants and a language/stack that allows fast prototyping of ideas.

Interesting blanket statement if not completely false. The only thing you can sort of assume is that those with liberal/left leanings are more likely to be teachers.

Something like 80% of software costs are maintenance.

I agree but that's to come by when your not in a legal state.
