What were your issues with the standard Anki app? It might not be the prettiest app, but it is effective.

Sadly, I think the assumption people are having families might be where the mark is missed - look at the global fertility rates.

And ask them to review your own projects? That seems a little odd doesn't it? I am wanting feedback specifically for my own work.

Sadly with the limited context sizes on LLMs, you can't ingest a large project at all once to ask for feedback on the more abstract requirements of "good" software practices/design.

That is unless the context sizes have significantly changed in the past months.

Are there any good platforms out there that people would recommend where you can have your code reviewed? Either paid for or for free.

As this article points out, feedback is an essential part of learning, and open source projects would be a great opportunity to get feedback on something you have sole agency over as opposed to many workplace projects where it's harder to receive feedback for your individual decisions.

20-40 books a year, keeping a page tally is important too if you really want to quantify your reading. This is all on about 30 minutes a night, with some longer spells on the weekend.

I keep a little index of the books I read every year, along with a rating, how many pages the book was and the completed date.

I wish I started writing down what I read a long time ago, I've twice recently started reading books only to realise that I had read them in years prior.

1) Unfortunately I am already squeezing as much as I can get out of the existing data. The public APIs (there's a different one for each city) don't cover all fields in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). I would love to incorporate more data as time goes on, I hadn't thought of sources of data outside of the public transport providers themselves, weather would be a great example to extrapolate comparisons from, thank you!

2) Yeah, I must admit there is a bias at play. Obviously there are a couple of parts of the site that have a negative spin. In an ideal world, there'd be no negative spin to create!

I personally loved the book.

I don't think it gets enough credit for keeping its message concise and approachable.

Plenty of nuggets of wisdom in there to glean from.

Have you done any other form of work that you don't find so disinteresting? To be honest most office work is quite banal, coding is probably amongst the most interesting roles in the building.

We've hired fantastic people in suits, and disastrous people, too.

It's more important that you 1) look tidy and 2) are comfortable and 3) match the style of the workspace to a degree.

The candidate is certainly putting in more work than you are for that money, no?

It feels like a kind thing to do when you’re being given money for little more than an email. It’s a win-win for both parties.

Conversely, I wouldn’t expect a signing bonus for the new hire to be shared, so take that as you will.

Yes, with the person you referred. Who else?

Would you ever split that referral bonus? Amongst my friend group it's pretty common to 50/50 it.

Honestly a heart attack is how I hope I go, over in minutes!
