Literate programming making a comeback! (If it was ever in vogue anyway?)

It's not really time. Seniority here is more of a quality than it is just something determined purely by time. So "Senior Software Developers" are those with some of the correlated skills in the article.

Bit off-topic, but love that the URL is just the straight up path to the file on the Windows machine.

This seems like one of the best uses of computers for educational media, one of the ways digital instruction can really shine through compared to physical text which can often require supplemental videos or help from a teacher to elucidate a concept.
Feels very reminiscent to me of 3B1B videos [1] on topics that use visuals to elucidate math topics more clearly as well.

It seems ironic to me that the HN crowd seems to support these circumvention of Apple's insular app distribution strategy, but on the other hand also supports Apple's clamp down on efforts to stop privacy violating apps.
For my part, I guess I would prefer that Apple at least open up iOS devices to both the app store and allowing users to install non-App Store apps, the Android model. This would probably satisfy both casual and more tech-savvy users. Unfortunately, I don't see Apple doing this any time as they are all about profits, and this strategy has been working very well so far.

Nice little Daft Punk easter egg in the panel with the "Nothing Found" example page (https://genius.com/Daft-punk-digital-love-lyrics), and the ending statement "We are humaaan after all." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_After_All)

For people who use YouTube and would like to remove distractions, I use the simple CSS script below along with the CSS styler extension Stylus to remove distractions and stop me from jumping mindlessly from video to video.

It seems so incredibly generous of this that I caught myself being so cynical as to doubt any ulterior motives at attracting just more companies to YC overall. But it seems to me that these resources and advice are made in earnest, thank you Sam Altman (and Gregory Koberger!) for the contribution of these materials.

This man Winston Sterzel [0] has been predicting something like this will happen in China, as they have no tolerance for drugs due to the horrors of the opium crisis.

I would recommend for you to read and implement the organization/productivity system from Getting Things Done by David Allen [0]. It discusses essentially your main problems of dividing up your life into projects and timing yourself. The system also includes sections for putting some of your ideas in an 'Incubate', basically putting it off for another day once you get through what you have. Having a running list of all your commitments and projects like the system does I think will help you to analyze your time usage and realistic expectations for your productivity and stuff you want to engage in.

It's not the fact that Mozilla sanitizes or does not sanitize the ads to prevent user tracking. It's the fact that there was never any explicit knowledge that ads like this would even show up on the browser homepage, which violates further trust in Firefox and Mozilla.
