Great data point! Thank you!

No mention of XMind yet. So here it is: https://www.xmind.net/

Printed template, multiple exposures. There are images of the template around middle of TFA.

If I didn't learn something from the junior engineer or intern this past month, I wasn't paying attention.

Amen! Not just junior engineers. PMs, analysts, testers. We all have a lot to learn from the rest of the team!

I can't upvote this enough.

I love _something_. I hate talking to other people who love _something_. ...use the combinations you enjoy.

Bless the parent comment.

I'd call The Köln Concert "protracted edging".

I see what you did there. :)

Not doing it in a structured way. Catching up with friends in the industry. Mostly over coffee. Local customers.

I'm on the same boat. Strengthening my network at the moment. I don't know exactly how to move forward as well. I'm in the Philippines.

For inspiration, I'm reading this again and again: https://www.winwithoutpitching.com/the-manifesto/

I was being kind, sir.

What I was trying to say is: I don't give a flying raccoon if people want to exercise or not.

So yeah. No strategising from me.

The real question is how do you get people of their ass and start exercising?

You don't. You wait for them until they decide and act on their decision.

I totally agree with this analysis.

Saying 'it's not a business model' is basically equivalent to saying 'I don't have to worry about money.'

No, Sir. I think the point flew past you. Saying "it's not a business model" means that you need to worry about how to sustain yourself from the get-go if you want to go where ever pleases you, open or closed source.

Most insightful comment in this mishmash.

I'll say it again for future searchers of wisdom: Open Source is not a Business Model.

You forgot IBM. grin

Offtopic but... I'm cheering for pyret! And for the group behind it of course. :)

I've been focusing, and doing, this wellness and exercise thing lately. Just reading for the last several years.

Best article, which led me to action, is this http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/everything-you-know-abou... together with the book The Power of Full Engagement https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743226755/ref=as_li_tl?ie...

And here are the guys I read regularly (on and off, actually):

Pavel Tsatsouline: http://www.strongfirst.com

Phil Maffetone: https://philmaffetone.com

In behalf of the Argentinian circus people, I thank you.

Long time fan. Great docs. And a 'native' Prolog interpreter: http://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html#pilog

How far into the future are you looking at? There's got to be a server somewhere. Somebody has to write code for those, aside from caring and feeding.

Smaller applications, in the Big Data sense, will still be used on site. At least say, 10 years down (yeah, pulled that figure from my ass).

So no. I don't believe that back-end development will be obsolete. Middle is the new back.

Refactor. Joel says it far better: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

I see sibling comments on big rewrites. No. I see sibling comments on service based replacements. Still no.

Put structure in. Add tests. Rinse. Repeat.

I came here to thank the Postgres developers for their hard work. Also their grace under such trying times.

Plays nicely into the Broken Window Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

As a Rust fan and electronics enthusiast, I find these kinds of projects awesome. Thank you for the write up and keep on hacking!

Been on this search lately. I found Thievery Corporation, Sounds From The Ground, Nightmares on Wax and Tycho fits the bill nicely.

Brian Eno's Music for Airports to get me into the mood for code. If this doesn't then http://rainymood.com. :)

For physical prep, loosening my body helps a lot before a long session and in between sessions.

Basically this. Unless I am exploring testing. :D

I think this is not OT at all. This is the answer to most job related should-i-stay-or-should-i-go or what-should-i-do questions.

It. Is. A. Job.

If you can't accept that you're in a job and the feeling of entitlement shines thru, that would just be whining in my book. And yes, HN, lots of that in here.

This is actually a better read than the OP. Thank you.

Very inspiring. Cheers!

I like Pyret a lot. The guys banging on Pyret and Racket are a great bunch as well.
