Im interested to learn more about the internal blogs you set up at previous employers. Do employees use it to write about their ongoing projects? Thanks for sharing!

On the other hand, the question template build up can be useful when initiating contact with someone. They have the space of “Could I have…” or equivalent in other languages to get tuned in to the fact you’re asking a question. Much of speech comprehension is being able to anticipate what’s coming.

I find it a rather large oversight that their desktop client (on Mac, probably just an Electron wrapper) isn’t local-first or at least have local backups so I can keep doing work.

One completely free iOS app that I found to be helpful is Mindfulness Coach, developed by the US department of veteran affairs. It was made to help veterans and service members with PTSD. It offers a collection of timed, very minimal, very easy to follow guided mindfulness sessions.

I’m not sure that’s an equal comparison. These other beings that have been researched to have human like consciousness have a core difference from the latest/future AI: they can’t talk. Now/soon, AI will be able to argue with us for its own sapient rights. We humans have also become more and more accustomed to text only communication that we’re psychologically prepped to accept an AI as a human (or other anthropomorphismes living being) once it shows emotion, memory, and reason. Maybe not even reason.

This was my approach to learning Ruby on Rails when I joined a startup using it 2 years ago. This is also my standard approach learning anything new since I started programming.

I would like to augment this advice with the very helpful but rarely mentioned step of actually reading through all the docs eventually and learning best practices from research on blog posts, open source projects, and other internet communities. This is especially important when learning a technology in the absence of a mentor/senior developer.

In the past, I’ve been burned thinking I built up a serviceable knowledge through learning as I go on my own projects. This approach is a great way that falls in line with the fact that a lot of new technologies are still just the same old fundamentals, but it’s important to recognize that true skill in a specific technology requires that extra, quite laborious, step.
