I have actually used that technique of watching myself perform a task when trying to improve my workflow for other things, like learning to draw and paint.
I never applied it to programming before but in hindsight it's really obvious, because it's incredibly effective. I use a tool [0] to record a timelapse of the desktop, because after a while watching the recordings in real time slows me down more than it helps. I find that usually when I focus on the task at hand I tend to lose track of time and of what I'm doing and when I get stuck I end up wasting a ton of time doing trial & error instead of taking a break to think things through properly, or switching to something else. This kind of stuff really adds up in the long term.
this literate programming is really cool.
Thinking about the caveats at the end, I wonder if anyone's ever implemented something like this on top of git or similar?
seems like the iterations of the evolving code across the tutorial could be mapped to commits or branches
He already claims to hire freelancers from places where the USD is more expensive, so I don't see why he hasn't considered just allocating his art budget into hiring one person from these places? Personally I can tell you that there are many places where 40k is more than enough to live very comfortably for way over 20 months.
I'm guessing the logistics of hiring someone internationally make that unfeasible? Maybe some sort of partnership could work? I'm not familiar enough with the legal caveats there
>If Twitter shuts down, you’ll lose your followers. If Facebook shuts down, you’ll lose your friends. For some platforms, it’s not a question of “if”, but “when”.
Wouldn't this happen as well if the instance my account was created in shuts down?
Somehow it seems like none of these so-called Disqus alternatives cover the use case of people with static websites that don't wan't or can't host the comments themselves.
So are there specs for the Book anywhere? If I can replace my notebook + wacom intuos setup with one of those, It'd be wonderful. A helluva lot more travel-friendly.
