  • I’d say 80% of this is traceable to having a comfortable amount of money his entire life and decent, non-abusive parents. A lot of anxiety and mental illness most people experience is traceable to trauma due to scarcity or trauma due to family. Ditto sleep disorders and reactability.

    It doesn’t explain everything, of course. No allergies is just a lucky die roll (and may not be true forever; allergies sometimes develop over time, or appear because you finally tried something new). And plenty of mental illnesses can still develop no matter who you are.






  • Posts tend to generate a lot of comments by:

    1. being funny, spurring people to try to be funnier (usually failing); or,

    2. by being interactive, spurring people to answer a prompt in the premise of the post; or,

    3. by being controversial, spurring people to argue.

    This isn’t particularly funny or interactive. And it’s not very controversial either; I think most programmers will agree with this premise.








  • Putting more than 2 log levels (and, most of the time, putting more than 1 log level) into the logs your service outputs is a waste of time and just promises to make things confusing for the operator trying to make sense of what’s happening. Just give people all the output and let them filter it however they want.

    The only exception I’d make is maybe “trace” level where you spit out everything that happens, good or bad, which is just there for you (the programmer) to make sense of bugs.
