I find older essays much better than contemporary ones, which is why I currently read Chesterton, Emerson and Montaigne the most. Thanks for this, I'll explore other writers from your list.

Yes, this is also possible with Matter. No need to jailbreak.

I don't think so. Bad books, like "The Secret" or "Think and Grow Rich" should be avoided if you want to develop your critical thinking.

I second this, at least when compared with StackOverflow, Angel List and WeWorkRemotely.

To be fair, just look what happened to Skype after Microsoft let a designer loose on it: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... They might have wanted to avoid that and just let their devs dump data into screens without a real design.

I'm not a big fan of what some designers deliver, but sitting down with maybe one or two users and seeing how they try to make sense of the mess that is AWS might have made sense.

Great advice. Just walking every day does wonders for my mood.

If it's less than 10% a year, I start looking for a new client. My highest pay raises have always come from switching to a new client.

I know exactly what you are talking about. After following Ultraworking Lights [1] for a couple of months, everything started feeling mechanical for me. So, I've stopped doing it and instead started doing anything I just feel like doing each day. Which comes with its own set of problems.
