anon7331··on How too much daydreaming affected me
I suffer from this and have for as long as I can remember (at least started around ~17). In the article he never mentioned his triggers, but it's important to figure out what they are.

For me, the primary trigger is music (both audio and video). If I am listening to it, the day dreaming kicks in and it's too much to handle. As a software engineer this is a pain in the ass to say the least...

The only thing to help me was completely cutting off my triggers. I had to cut out music completely as well as remove Youtube from my workflow (no music, podcasts, passive listening, etc). I had to make additional cuts to other triggers as well... the only thing that helps is a complete cut off.

Edit: I recommend buying some ear plugs and using those instead of headphones or airpods...

anon7331··on Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium
Ah yes. The "Uncle Ted" approach, but a bit more mild. At what point do we go full Ted?
anon7331··on Good code is like a love letter to the next developer who will maintain it
It's a very nice way to imagine good code. More likely, someone inexperienced or less caring will come along and edit it just enough to turn it into mediocre code and no one will care anymore.

Ahhh yes, our future generation. I'm glad I won't be around.

Perhaps the name "Typescript" is misleading. They should have called it JavaScript++
