Modern irony: We buy powerful hardware (laptops, smartphones) that sits idle 90% of the time; Yet spend hundreds monthly on SaaS tools for a fraction of tasks our devices could handle themselves. 🤔

Today, I discovered a combination of tools where I enjoy writing and organizing my notes into a searchable, indexable repository of ideas. The combination of #Vim and #Obsidian into one system - it's Gold.

Get it done. Then. Get it done well. Just getting done alone ain't going to work long term.

Many new devs are afraid to touch C language. Our computer systems are built on that technology. To understand computers and operating systems, we should open a text editor and start writing some C code. #programming

It's a good strategy to build your dream projects on the side. Do not blindly jump right into the unknown. Explore first.

Know what to optimize for. Another way of saying - have a goal in mind. We always work towards something - make a meaningful choice.

The simplest way to start programming in #ElixirLang is to create something for yourself. Learn new things, fix issues, and solve your problems with your own tools.

Productivity exists only when there are constraints: - limited time; - limited team size; - limited resources; Without them, we drown in endless possibilities. Constraints force us to prioritize and to move.

Where many see cool features; I see messy code structures and technical debt. I see bloat and inevitable cleanup. This is the unglamorous yet essential part of my craft.

Coding in a flow state formula: 1. Have a meaningful goal in mind - I use a short daily todo list; 2. Remove distractions, focus is crucial; 3. Dive in when borderline anxiety meats creative skill; 4. See the progress and enjoy the dopamine of achieving the goal;

I used to think #ElixirLang was the best tech for building web products 5 years ago. I still do.

Computers these days have many cores. To use those cores optimally, I have chosen #ElixirLang and #Erlang VM for my projects for the last 8 years. It's easy to work with, it works efficiently, and the ops is very lean.

Do not assume. Ask questions instead.

When I'm developing systems, I use a compound effect: 1. Focus on small, reusable parts first; 2. Delay big architectural decisions as long as you can; 3. The exponential nature of compounding kicks in when starting to combine small components into whole features very, very fast.
