I interpreted the "poor developer" part of the OP to be a statement of financial outlook, not from a development ability standpoint - especially when in the same line he mentions that he's "stuck getting paid 16/hr" at the moment.

But otherwise good advice!

Google play does this when watching certain movies and shows. Not sure if it's added manually or does intelligent recognition. However, it's certainly useful - so I could see generalizing that capability for other movies / plays??

<br/>

Granted, the movies and shows on Play have at least a context to do the pattern matching with - a cast list greatly reduces the possible matches.

Hahaha, I love it. I had this exact idea this morning! Never expected to see it posted, and so soon after. Great minds... ;)

Was thinking more along the lines of direct to fridge and freezer options. Ideally with cooling or refrigeration properties so cold food can stay cool on the ride home, and the whole thing can pop into the fridge.

Definitely a good article. Not sure why I opened it thinking it'd be a write up about life working at a particle accelerator... Which would have been awesome, but I digress.

In your last sentence, you answered your own question. Don't ask us how you would want to live your life, after all it is YOUR life. Just live it!

We can give you as much permission as you want. But all of it won't matter unless you give yourself the permission.

Some say "just ship", in this case, "just start".

Lots of great advice in this thread. A lot of ideas on where to start. But it will be all for not if you don't let yourself start.

Good luck throwing off the bowlines! ;)

Very interesting and nicely done. Surprisingly addictive!

I loved "Understand" by Ted Chiang; thanks for sharing this one!

Eye opening at certain points, dragged on at others. Either way I'm more excited to code. I mean, program. :)

Wow. Just, wow.

The first words out of my mouth actually were "that's beautiful".

Nothing else more constructive to say, just wanted to leave kudos here for the OP.

I believe his statement was that of mockery or sarcasm when using the "augment" line. Not actually demeaning some of patio11's work. :)

I personally thought this was a very good article. It definitely gave me a lot to think about with regard to how much I help my family members fix their computer problems instead of "teaching them to fish" so to speak.

First thing that came to mind for this:

> When they hit eleven, give them a plaintext file with ten-thousand WPA2 keys and tell them that the real one is in there somewhere. See how quickly they discover Python or Bash then.

Was "How will they learn Python without Google"? Only to look to my right and see my Python book. facepalm

Agh, the dependence.

Well done!

I feel Einstein would be in the camp of reiterating often, much like Edison's "I failed 10,000 times" quote.

Excellent article. I love Phil's sense of humor. Seems like a great guy running a great company!
