That study was done on early adolescents. How generalizable are those results to adult, white-collar workers?

> Virginia has [...] a better social scene

What's your definition of a "social scene"? I have lived in both and have known many people who have lived in both and you are probably the only person I've ever met (myself included) who thinks this.

> taxes are less than both virginia and maryland

Can you elaborate? "Taxes" can mean many different things and, for my situation, income taxes in Virginia are far lower than in the other two municipalities.

> Bay Area salaries, according to levels.fyi, for these levels range from $190k to $350k.

> According to Robert Half, Bay Area salaries are 42% above the national average, so that range translates to $110k-$205k unadjusted.

can someone explain the math here? wouldn't this imply an unadjusted range of $134k ($190k/1.42) to $246k ($350k/1.42)?

the "link:" operator doesn't work for me--it just seems to include the URL's tokens in the search

Clean Code is not a soft-skill book.

In college, I went to bed around 2-3:30am every weeknight because that's what the people around me were doing. Also, I was regularly staying out at least that late on weekends.

In the last few years, I've been forced to get to work by 9:45am due to team standups. Also, my girlfriend-at-the-time was waking up around 6:30-7am to exercise almost every weekday. And I don't really go out partying at night anymore so waking up at 7:30am and not feeling miserable is doable.

Keeping the consistent weekend schedule is the key. I've been pretty driven to continue my CS education and self-teaching and so having more time in the day to continue that goal motivates me to get up early.

Better yet: repeatedly divide and then take the inverse.

You need some cleverness to code an add(x, y) method with only bitwise operators.

Then, you need to code a multiply(x, y) method using some more bit shifting cleverness and your new add method.

Then, do repeated squaring using your new multiply method.
