Asking questions for new devs:
1. Read through code
2. Write question clearly and concisely - understand the problem
3. Give yourself another 30-40 minutes to figure it out before asking
In most cases, extra time is all I needed. Sometimes I solved it while writing the question.

🍠 a slice of theory

🍇 a bunch of small, self-directed projects

YMMV, but it’s worked pretty well for me so far.

A simple idea this holiday season. Stop measuring GDP and instead measure the total income of the bottom 50% of the population and optimize policy for that. Additions and exits from this group can also be tracked. We get what we measure. Will this raise income inequality?
