- Limit function length : Keep functions concise, ideally under 70 lines . Shorter functions are easier to understand, test, and debug. They promote single responsibility, where each function does one thing well, leading to a more modular and maintainable codebase.

Inflexibility fully prevents any coalition-building, which is why the left almost never sees electoral success or even really growing the left itself among the voter base. Ezra's policy proposals are definitely more on the left, but there's so much resistance from people who are entirely unable to think in terms of incrementalism... See more

Power worship blurs political judgement because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible. If the Japanese have conquered south Asia, then they will keep south Asia for ever, if the Germans have captured Tobruk, they will infallibly capture Cairo... See more

People who are miserable are ugly and unapproachable and have a “victim mindset” because they can’t accept that it is all their own fault, and therefore they are bad. People who are happy must be strong and living virtuous lives full of beauty and tradition. People who are not must therefore be weak and moral failures. This framework of logic makes... See more

Myself and people my age have been trained under the illusion that we can effectively eliminate any and all friction from our lives. We can work from home, Amazon prime everything we need, swipe through a limitless array of mediocre dates, text our therapist, and have a person go to the grocery store for us when we don’t feel like it, all while...

The problem is, as achievement-subjects, not only do we burn ourselves out, but the meaning and value of our lives is always deferred. Once we have our dream job, the perfect home, a perfectly optimised life – once we are productive enough, efficient enough, successful enough – only then will we arrive at meaning. But just like the fruit that... See more
Alec Stubbs • The Achievement Society Is Burning Us Out, We Need More Play
Nature, art, and technology all matter because of their complexity. Complexity is beauty . It’s when a bunch of simple patterns overlap in a harmonious way to create something profound. A beautiful painting might appear simple, but if you analyze and isolate the patterns, you realize how much action is happening under the hood of your attention.

You might wonder: why bother with this, when we could call len(user_db.users) ? One answer is that len(user_db.users) is more tightly coupled, which is usually undesirable. Coupling is when one part of the system depends on another part.

The consequences are severe. This represents an abdication of mentorship that parents owe their children and that kids desperately need. We all sign up for this task when we bring children into the world. We must raise them, like it or not. It’s the unquittable job. Sure, some deadbeat parents have always checked out in ways that horrify mainstream... See more
