While others find it as a reasonable middle ground between banning things outright(which never works anyway) and letting everyone do whatever they want even if it harms others.
You are living in a society after all.

If you go jogging every day and follow that up with 30 minutes at the riverside thinking -nothing- your cortisol can drop dramatically in 2 weeks.
Can you provide the source for this? I would like to read up.
Any other sources of knowledge to learn about neurosciences you would like to recommend would also be helpful.

The people who are going to say "well if he had dropped out he might've been bill gates, instead of just running an RND department at IBM" are not going to change their mind if you had shown them data.

Lets go through this one by one:
In addition you have to be able to program in Python, Java, JavaScript, C.
This is objectively false. To expect a junior developer to know all these is unrealistic, plain and simple. If you have working knowledge of one or two programming languages and have an appetite to learn you are good to go.
You also have to understand data structures like linked lists, queues, b-trees..., and to top it all of understand algorithm analysis to judge the efficiency of the code you write or look at.
For 99% of the work out there, this is also not true. This is the horse crap that is fed to everyone so that folks can ask questions that have little to no relation to day to day development. If you are doing web development, then some knowledge of database query optimization will come in handy. But I don't remember the last time I had to figure out how a linked list worked whenever I was doing any server side or front-end optimization.

I was also curious about this. Don't have enough data on how this works in real life. What is to say that you won't spend more time on entertainment now that you have a separate device for it?

Learning Vim using vimtutor is one thing for people coming from editors like Sublime/Atom, but setting up vim so that autocomplete/File Tree/FileSearch work like expected is a whole different ball game.

>There is a market rate for work and that rate isn't limited by geographic location. It's your ability to sell which will get you that rate.
But for most programming jobs, developers are interchangeable and a big part of hiring a developer(remote or not) in developing countries is that you can pay a fraction of the salary you would be pay if you were hiring a dev in US/Europe. Hence this in essence is one of the major selling points.
What are the specific things would you say one can do to sell themselves at that rate keeping in mind the above mentioned point?

That is quite generous of your company to pay 5000 usd per month to devs in the Philippines. If you don't mind, can you let me know what company you work for? Since there is no contact info in your pofile, If you don't want to put it here, my email is in my profile. Thanks.

I think the point being made is life will be just as depressing in Mars if we are running behind things in Mars like we do here.

The key here is if you feel good and confident about yourself. I wonder how well these kinds of schedules work for people who are not.

Meditation is supposed to do this to you. Remove negative thought patterns.
