There's really no benefit to glorifying "busy."

With the amount of technology and automation we have, and how productive we have become, we should be heading towards 4 day weeks, and month long vacations.

No shame in taking a break at all here. Also, work to live, don't live to work; or you'll miss out on everything important.

We just need to get more businesses to accept it. If Amazon accepted Bitcoin, HELLO BUBBLE 2!

You're probably not a good candidate for day trading.

I'm in a similar boat as you though so... dem feels.

^^^ This is a good point. I knew he'd fail at the first line when he claimed to know everything. That's not a good attitude to jump into any situation.

Great blog post... but the grammatical errors were a huge distraction.

The web has always had different screen sizes and very different capabilities of machines. Heck, having to code for IE6 should trump any difficulties faced in mobile.

Did you submit a bug to Apple?

I concur. It's much easier to plug in functionality and DB objects into a finished UI/UX than the other way around. Also, it allows the hacker to just work on the core functionalities instead of worrying about how their code is supposed to output to fit into an unpainted canvas.

Obviously if you're working on an API, this doesn't apply - but you'd be surprised at how fast the hacking sprint can get when you know exactly where to plug your code into.

Maybe politically correct people don't think others are stupid, but smart or not, there are definitely some morons out there.

I for one, do not need to be PC to be smart. I don't claim to know everything, but that doesn't mean there aren't people who know less who also decided a long time ago to stop learning/embracing new ideas.

Finding life will be the prequel to finding intelligent life. You're right that finding life itself won't change the views of people who choose to close their minds, but it will be the start of many realizing we're nothing special, but rather, something very common.

Also, I'm almost certain there are life in other planets in our solar system. It'll just take a few (relatively speaking) more years to prove it.
