I post whatever I find interesting and occasionally throw in one of the articles I worked on. If people find it interesting or useful, great, if not, that's okay too.

Is this a case of the former or latter?

Seems like the latter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31434220

Easier said than done, but almost everything is.

Still, I think there's some utility for self-help stuff. If you spend 30 minutes reading about how to be more effective, if the book is good, it can actually affect behavior, at least in the short term.

Swing dancing has been awesome for me: movement, complexity in the music (jazz), cool people (half of which are women),...

The term "community" is a buzzword. I'd say about 1% of what is claimed to be a community is an actual community.

Awesome! Glad it helped

Others have already offered the more obvious advice, so I'll just add something a bit weird: I've started taking swing dancing classes and it's good fun. I meet people (some of which are women!) and it takes me out of my head. It's good active sort of relaxation.

I've noticed that a lot of programmers are into swing dancing, about 1 in 2 men I talk to at social dancing are in software in some way.

The Steve Jobs effect.

Okay, this might get downvoted, but posts like this are exactly why my co-founder wrote a big series on addiction in general and Internet addiction in particular.

It was posted by the same author, so he's probably trying to get some feedback on this project since the first submission failed.

yes you're right! I submitted days back but that doesn't get me anywhere. Also from this submission I gain lot of insights.
