The irony in this is that it's hard to imagine a Civic owner going to a luxury hotel with a valet. Maybe a Type R owner with a stretch...

Oh, I love the 2 sides of HN... Here everybody's ready to buy a BYD and even move to China, due to the sheer quality of the product (for the money) and the integrity of the people, totally forgetting about the 'social credit system' and the data that these cars might be sending or being exposed to having the car remotely disabled. Not to mention the repairability... Just a few days ago there was a popular post taking a modem out of the RAV4. Bet you can't do even that on a BYD without rendering the car non-functional.

This is an article where you shouldn't go directly to the comments or you'll miss all the fun.

Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands and then eat just one of those pieces. – Judith Viorst

People are made different. Some are more binge oriented, seems those also feel the most guilt after consumption and then they restrain for a longer time, then they fall worse. I'm like that, when I do something I'm all in, seems like a awesome thing when I'm into good things, but otherwise prone do get addicted to bad ones.

I noticed others who are more detached, don't feel that guilt and can stop when they want like you. Seems the better way to approach things is in "smaller bites".

Anything good in too great measure can become bad after all.

I don't know, I'm struggling with youtube of all things. Blocking extensions seem to work for a while...

I feel like this is the story of open source tools. Way harder to use but once you know the tool the power and freedom is much greater, and even the pleasure of using it.

I'm also thinking of cli vs gui here.

Sounds like delayed gratification.

1. Decide your goal, probably get hired? (Web, Devops, Embedded...)

2. Learn the stack that follows from 1, just barely, not too much theory. You want to start as k with 3.

3. Build something using the stack you learned. Start even if you are clueless of how to do it, and google every question you encounter. Stackoverflow will become your friend.

Repeat 2 and 3 for the rest of your life.

Related, may I ask in what climatic area are you living? Where I live it gets so cold in the winter that I almost can't even wash my hands with cold water. On the other side I feel like in the summer I could take on such a habit. Maybe a solution would be to warm it just slightly in the winter.

This is beautiful. As a developer this is the kind of app I would like to work on, that has a direct good impact on people's life.

I know there are all kinds of lists on github.

Is there a list of companies that are inherently good (I know it's subjective) and are hiring developers?

I also subscribe. Having a non-technical background, CS101 and CS253 were essential for the start of my career in web development. And even though at the time (2014) I went with PHP to get my first dev job, I soon returned to Python because of that strong foundation.
