How did you get out of that reddit scrolling hellhole
Do you know of any better books than that one
What tools/stacks did you use to make all of those web/apps
What are those 50 sites you visit? I have like 4 which I visit on a daily basis (reddit/4chan/hckrnews/youtube)
I live in the subcontinent and 100% agree with you, I don't know most westerners are able to comprehend how much Whatsapp is tied into our day to day lives. It also plays a huge huge hand in spreading fake news here through message forwards, most politicians here pay off journalists who maintain several large group chats where they spread misinformation (exponentially)
I used to love Firefox so much before but recently its starting to feel less user friendly than freakin' Chrome the way it shoves changes down my throat. I still cant even stand that huge address bar that goes down to my taskbar, that was one of the major reasons I moved away from firefox just because of how ugly that and the address bar zoom was
> They are just flawed in different ways.
Thats a interesting way to think, would you like to expound that from both sides perspective?
I can't remember his name, there was a youtuber named Ali Abdal (I think?) whose videos are focused around productivity and they give me the same feeling that you're talking about in your comment. When you're talking about to 'productively' watch tv shows while try to get some work done in the background thats going a bit too far

Currently experiencing it with Django. Am a undergrad "data scientist" and trying to build up more theoretical/statistical knowledge on the side, however I am a non-CS major and completely self-taught so I haven't built up many end-to-end applications; I would say that I am a decent programmer but I haven't learnt how to use heavy duty frameworks as of yet. With Django I can make basic stuff...
Over here in Asia where we live in joint families or our parents/grandparents live in the same house as us for our entire lives this is a non-issue, I always found it weird how people in the west headed out to live independently as soon as they turn 18 or go to college. I knew a guy in Germany who was working a job and said he was peer pressured to leave his parents home because it was seen as something negative, that he was still "freeloading" by the time he was ~24.
For me I know about what this data stands for and what it represents, I just don't know what to do _after_ acquiring this sort of data. Any pointers on that? I live in a really poor country where I can't do algotrading anyways but the eventual goal is to venture into that field by moving abroad, any pointers on what I can build right now with free APIs or from data like this?
How did you go about developing this? Am curious to see what 'level' of chrome its implemented on
It also depends on the type of user you are, for someone like me who does almost everything with a keyboard it would be pretty minimal, but for say a fps gamer I'd say it would be pretty high
What resources did you use to learn how to build something like this?
