Sometimes I work out.

I started when I was 34, for the same motivations that you describe. It become my profession and my hobby. I'm now 47 and I'm still enjoying the ride a lot.

Watching a cat failing to open a jar, I noticed that my brain expects cats to succeed at all they do.
Can be true, but it applies to Disneyland as well.
Fear not. It's zero emissions ;)
Re:Ask HN: Best resources to learn django in 2017? on Monday November 13, 2017 @09:02AM (#15686559)
What helped me the most from the basics to being a Django professional has been Two Scoops of Django. The best about this book is that is authoritatively opinionated about which are the best practices in the Django world. This really helps you not to get lost.

I completely agree. It was also very well balanced between theory and practice.

Re:The slow death of purposeless walking (2014) on Monday May 16, 2016 @06:27AM (#11705400)
Walking helps me in solving programming issues.

When I find myself stuck and my mind starts to loop around, I need to force myself to take a purposeless walk, around my office's block or little more. During the walk I stop thinking about the problem for a while and then resume from a new angle. It normally works very well.

It wouldn't have been smart either. What one should charge is what one can charge. And it's unrelated to what the cost of living is in a given country.

I'm obsessed with not throwing away things and really appreciate a cool project like this. But nonetheless, I would like to emphasize that recycling is no substitute for not producing and not consuming plastic, which is by far the best way to fight what is depicted in the Why? section!
