Why putting refactoring stories on the backlog is bad idea? https://ronjeffries.com/xprog/articles/refactoring-not-on-the-backlog/
Surround yourself with people who look like magicians to you. Then imagine yourself as one, older and wiser, in great detail. Imagine yourself as the person you would be afraid to say you want to be out loud to others (because it seems so ridiculously impossible right now). https://autotranslucence.wordpress.com/2018/03/30/becoming-a-magician/
Looking for default css style that's awesome? Look no further: https://watercss.kognise.dev/ #css #webdev #jamstack
Start of year #reminder: be #rational. A nice checklist: https://rationality.org/files/checklist_of_rationality_habits.pdf #newyear #habits
#TIL sed can take any delimiter. Replace all 'images/' with '/images/': 's=images/=/images/=g' with '=' as delimiter ;)
I ended up splitting my todo list into two. One that doesn't need any prep and provides reminders - use #nextcloud tasks for this. Second, requires deliberate planning & tracking - use #Jira with a scrum/kanban template #productivity #goals
Repeat after me. "I will stop treating software #architecture as a big ball of coupled features. Instead, I will ask: Does our #mentalmodel represent the #domain #abstractions? How does this *new* feature fit into the #mentalmodel?"
And that's 500k from 3k line of #python. Folks like me would have spend hours #refactoring #testing and making the code awesome. That's fun, but it's way more important to do the *right thing at the right time* ;) #indiedev

Reading list += "The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan" by Robert Kanigel #math #genius #inspiration
Darwin couldn't turn it off. Neither could Ramanujan. They didn't discover the hidden paths that they did because they seemed promising, but because they couldn't help it. That's what allowed them to follow paths that someone who was merely ambitious would have ignored. https://paulgraham.com/genius.html#passion #purpose
If I had to put the recipe for genius into one sentence, that might be it: to have a disinterested obsession with something that matters. See https://paulgraham.com/genius.html #passion #ikigai
