Hemingway’s Productivity hack

The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.

Favorite quote from COD: Modern Warfare 2

The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is it's last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds on a suicide mission, but the sands and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us for this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We will kill him.

Beauty of Internet

Just yesterday, I was bored and was just going through some tweets on my twitter timeline and I came across a tweet by Hacker Zed Shaw and I visited his website hoping to stumble upon something interesting, I was just going through archives and found this gem, The Master, The Expert, The Programmer and submitted to Hacker News hoping to read some existing comments  on the essay.  To my disappointment, it wasn't submitted to Hacker News [1] and there weren't any comments to learn from. The comments on Hacker News are sometimes more interesting than the post they are commenting on, so I was hoping to understand the depth of Zed's post.  Once submitted comments start pouring in and some of them were just  mind-blowing and complemented Zed's post beautifully.  I guess one of the users of Hacker News submitted the post to proggit too (unless he was stumbling upon the Zed's site at the same time too) but the comments weren't as insightful as Hacker News comments. This post is actually about nothing but my realization of beauty of Internet, which is contributing and learning from others as they contribute. Zed also talks about this on his new blogpost . So all in all, my boredom led me to find invaluable information from Zed's post, comments from Hacker News and all in all it made me slightly smarter than I was, day before yesterday. Thanks Internet, Thanks Zed, Thanks Hacker News.

[1] The blogpost was actually submitted 3 years back to Hacker News but it didn't get as many comments as it deserved.
