Now you too can keep notes like you're playing [Wilmot's Warehouse](http://wilmotswarehouse.com/). Really reminds me of that game and how I floundered at creating a warehouse that was organized such that my spatial brain could actually remember where everything was.

Writing, honestly. I get absorbed into stringing words into entire worlds, complete with flowery descriptions and characters of my choosing. I find that I can write anywhere, be it on laptop or paper, so it affords me more movement than programming.

It's not that I want something more creative than programming, I consider programming to be equal parts art and skill. I want something more flexible, not tied to a company that requires me to work in ways that I don't find productive (looking at you stand ups). However, for now I'll be following the money and writing on the side, although it does get draining to split most of my day's effort into two creative professions.

If you look at some of the comments condemning him for not backing up his preferences with statistics it makes sense that he should preface his questions with something to provide levity. I don't know why programming communities are so touchy about their tools, particularly JavaScript frameworks. It must be a sort of buyer's satisfaction to convince themselves that they made the correct time investment.

Ah, got to love the subscription pop-up with a close button that doesn't work. A timeless web design principle.

Aside from that, when will we get past the requirement for data structure knowledge for positions that center around web design? Data structure knowledge is available at my fingertips throughout the work day. Why must I memorize implementation boilerplate for an interview?

Is it 20% to generate something like this, which balances parentheses without syntax? If so that is seriously surprising.

  function getBalance (parenStr) {
      var count = 0;
      for (var i = 0; i < parenStr.length; i++) {
          if (parenStr[i] === '(') { count++; }
          else if (parenStr[i] === ')') { count--; }
      }
      return count === 0;
  }

I agree. The Clojure syntax comparisons are probably due to the popularity of that language, compared to Scheme or other Lisp dialects. Perhaps a comment section in addition to the annotations would provide more insightful discussions.

Does Fermat's Library offer a printer-friendly version of the paper?
