I just shared this in the work Slack and everyone resoundingly agreed with the sentiment. Definitely going to pay more attention to this now, thanks for sharing!
I tried to learn dvorak, and colemak, and both ended up requiring too much investment to be worth it. This is very tempting, even though I promised myself I'd stop messing with keyboard layouts
I'm currently implementing my favorite 2 player board game - Raptor - in Ruby, and this article is giving me great ideas for how to structure it better. Thanks so much to the author for writing this up!
Hi, I'm a software dev who was terrified of dance floors my whole life, and nearly gave up hope that my analytical brain could ever get comfortable with it.
But I kept trying, looking for a clever way around the problem, and I found it! This course is everything I learned during that process, and it's currently free for my birthday weekend, so have at it :)
Discount code is "HBD" if it doesn't work, use this url:
I think it's really useful to describe your product as an alternative to a well known product. Most people will instantly get it, much more so than a long re-definition of the original product.

Thanks for sharing your story. I had a similar moment with the mobile game skinner boxes where I just got repulsed and lost all urge. But I still get sucked into higher quality games, thus, this post :)
Haha love your take on the extreme opinions people have on this game. And yeah, the thought has occurred to me that, like most anticipated things, it probably wouldn't be as exciting as I'd imagined once I was really playing it
Yup. Good call. Weather is good these days so taking a long walk will be on that list :) Also photography, calling people for a random chat, and reading fiction.
Huh, Dota was my big addiction in college. Thanks for sharing that perspective on how to reframe your time spent in a positive way.
I think for me, I would like to turn my many hours spent into a will and a way to help others deal with addiction to videogames, as well as porn and other digital addictions that are not yet taken quite as seriously as physical addictions.
I think that would be the ultimate way of making something good out of all this
