If I may diverge from the main topic but to your point. I'd venture to say that the act of putting reminders and thinking about smoking is the reason you failed.

I stopped smoking with the same book but the it worked (as I understand it now) is that it breaks down every excuses you gave yourself to smoke while it actually encourages you to keep smoking while reading. At the end of the book you just have no reason left to smoke. What happened for me when I closed the book is that I just continued my life as if I was not a smoker, never actually thinking about it. No withdrawal of any kind but I didn't remind myself that I used to be a smoker, never. I know it but it's not something I think about

That's hibernating you're describing. Suspend wakes less time than it takes to open the lid and the laptop is directly usable.

Strangely I came to comment because I had the opposite reaction. I couldn't read the article because I find the presentation way too noisy (and in general can't stand vertical scrolling much.)

Fixed selection of titles with no possibility of putting one's own content... Indoctrination much?

How about a commit hook that warns when it looks like you're about to commit a secret key?

I'd say of you have to give hints for a joke then the joke's not good.

Given the number of Bentley, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and cars in general roaming the streets of Hanoi I'm not sure that's a valid point.

Who's your 'us'?

I'm coding in Ruby full-time for some months now and it's the most friendly language I've encountered, everything feels natural.

Is it just me or the perspective of that image looks very wrong?
