Imagine being on the team involved in the development and reading through this write up - I'm sure it would bring a smile to their face. "Got this right, got that wrong."

Different commenter, but I think in your pricing section, you may have enterprise spelled incorrectly. "Enterprice" -> "Enterprise"

I had a great time in San Diego riding these and I am thinking about grabbing the $500 electric scooter on Amazon instead of the $1200 boosted board.

Interestingly, I got kinda pulled over when I was riding one late at night in San Diego. The police officer said I needed a helmet and to get off of it. I think he may have just been having a bad afternoon because in the daytime there were hundreds of people riding around without a helmet on. I am not saying that I think it's a dumb idea to wear a helmet, I always do when biking around my city's streets. Next time I'm in San Diego I'm bringing a helmet with me, and then, I'll be unstoppable.

I've tried so many hacks, checklists, apps, Pomodoro, web video tutorials and TED talks on productivity, and I couldn't get up to speed with the rest of my senior team. I asked my wife what she does, and she said something very along the lines of what you said. I gave it a shot, and I ended up being the top performer that quarter (and hopefully the ones to come).

Now when someone asks about procrastination I give it to them straight. You're at work to work. Small breaks / breathers will come naturally. Get it finished and mess around on your own time or when you're done with your tasks. You'll only be benefiting yourself and be at the top of your team in no time.

Thank you for your reply!

> In the cases of vim/emacs, people who dive deep enough will often find them superior than <previous fav text editor>.

Yeah after reading so many vim vs. emacs memes I was really surprised when my git commit message opened one of them for the first time. ( I didn't surround the message in quotes or something.)

> Get familiar with a command line text editor (vim, Emacs, nano, …).

Can someone explain to me why it would be beneficial to learn these? Most of the time if you needed to edit some file couldn't you just <fav text editor here> file.*? I am trying to understand this. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I definitely didn't think of this point.

As a naive bystander, can you please explain why it would be bad to "pollute" space? Do things fall back into the atmosphere and burn up and sprinkle ash back onto the earth? I thought that objects once past the gravitational pull of the earth will just continue to drift away into the nothingness of space, and no matter the volume, it would be an insignificant amount to cause any harm to our planet or view of the stars.
