You mean CS is unimportant for 99% of all code monkeys. But it is absolutely necessary for bleeding edge development and creating libraries that people who deem CS unimportant. It’s like saying that math is a complete waste of time because no programmer needs more than school algebra ever. True? Absolutely! Do we still need math? If you married rich or grew up rich then it’s a nice brain teaser. Otherwise touch grass.

I don’t think that anecdotal evidence benefits the evidence behind psychedelic therapies. I lost a lot of weight by eating gummy bears around the same time I started to exercise and eat less. Is that a convincing argument for gummy bears as a weight loss tool? They weren’t keto either.

Absolutely this. All great writers were extremely prolific and disciplined about their craft with no exception. This whole myth about some genius lying on the table and thinking about the order of arranging words is a myth that romanticizes the act of writing.

Unlikable mary sue character who constantly toots his own horn and boasts about how smart he is, boring cookie cutter world building straight from a how to book. This made the protagonist extremely annoying like a teenager who thinks he’s smart and talented because of good grades and then ends up working as a web dev later in life.

As a freelance concept artist and illustrator I pull regular all nighters but when I’m into the zone drawing worlds and characters from pure imagination, I lose track of time and space. After some time of not sleeping it feels like my head is floating mid air, I don’t know which day of the week it is and the last time I looked out the window the sun was going up, now it’s early morning again. It doesn’t interfere with my life because art completes and lifts me into a higher state of consciousness. It’s rare and remarkable

Are there any writers of technical books here that write in their second language? Do you translate it to english or just write it in english?
