My wife thinks it's weird that I stare at the window during a heavy rainstorm.

It would be a lot less weird if she'd just let me in.

> Scientist's Definition of Success

Common definition of success: reaching a desired outcome.

Scientist's definition: *Learning something new*. If you learn something, you haven't failed.

Vim is based on shortcuts. When I discovered that and played around, I felt numb and a little stupid, having not learned the shortcuts much earlier.

I realized there was a keystroke to get to any specific position I wanted. It felt liberating, moving my cursor with the precision of a surgeon.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Recently, I re-listened to a podcast episode where they discussed about constraints.

Everyone thinks that constraints are bad.

But having some constraints may be good.
