This reminds me of the party game Telestrations where players go back and forth between drawing and writing what they see. It's hilarious to see the result because you anticipate what the next drawing will be while reading the prompt.

I'd love to see an alternative viewing mode here which shows the image and the following prompt. Then you need to click a button to reveal the next image. This allows you to picture in your mind what the image might like while reading the prompt.

Thanks for making this fun little app!

Update: I just realized you can get this effect by going into mobile mode (or resizing the window). You can then scroll down to see the image after reading the prompt.

All is better. I still plan to blog about the burnout.

I wouldn't expect to be mentioned in the documentary, but thanks for the shout out. :)

Thank you all for the kind comments! The Rails community has always been supportive to me. Even criticisms were done in a constructive manner.

I will go into detail on why I stopped RailsCasts in part 3, but I will say it wasn’t because of the community. You all have been awesome.

Graded Go Problems for Beginners

A bit of a cheat answer. The book here represents the game of Go. I found getting into this hobby helped in problem solving other areas of my life since it exercises analyzing many branching paths.

There are often too many possibilities to try every one, so it requires intuition to narrow down the good options, and then you can visualize how it might play out.

Kent Beck wrote up a workflow along these lines called test && commit || revert. The idea is any change that makes the tests pass is committed, any change that makes the tests fail is reverted. https://medium.com/@kentbeck_7670/test-commit-revert-870bbd7...

I believe Kent has also posted a few videos on YouTube demonstrating this approach.
