Seeking the Productive Life: Some Details of My Personal Infrastructure—Stephen Wolfram Writings

writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure

Some of Stephen Wolfram’s “productivity hacks” to make his days and projects more productive. Daily life, desk environment, outside the office, presentation setup, filesystem organization, Wolfram Notebook systems, databases, personal analytics.

At an intellectual level, the key to building this infrastructure is to structure, streamline and automate everything as much as possible—while recognizing both what’s realistic with current technology, and what fits with me personally.

After reading Blue Period, Nina got inspired and invested time into learning how to draw, following guidelines from a book. She shared her learnings from the journey. Very inspiring! Can I draw? Should I learn how to?

Ask HN: Programmers who don't use autocomplete/LSP, how do you do it?

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42492508

Really intresting comments

This question reminds me of the first time I met a blind programmer. I asked him how he managed to code, and he replied with something that stayed with me: a good programmer should organize software in such a way that every piece of code has a clear and logical place. The organization should be so intuitive that anyone could build a mental model of the structure and navigate it easily, even without seeing it.

Edna - scratchpad and note taking app

github.com/kjk/edna

Heavy use of shortcuts, has unique concept of blocks with different types (i actually like it a lot). Blocks can have type of code (and can be formatted). In Math blocks lines are evaluated as expressions with results at the end. Can execute golang code.

Enlightenmentware

mmapped.blog/posts/28-enlightenmentware.html

unix is user-friendly—it’s just choosy about who its friends are.

I even have it [Windows] installed on my gaming pc so that I can buy games I never play.

It is easy to shoot your foot off with git, but also easy to revert to a previous foot and merge it with your current leg.
