The PC wasn't better than the mainframe at everything. It didn't have to be. That's how disruption works.

Many good instructors can't draw a line between KA (or any other disruptive solution) and the absolute best, gold standard, scientifically-proven best way to teach (usually their favorite methodology).

The fact is that he's better than most of the teachers out there. It's a rising tide: if your teacher has a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching you probably don't need Sal Khan.
I haven't been formally diagnosed with bipolar, but I sure as heck have many of the symptoms, including feeling elation and depression at the same time. I also have chronic depression.

What does that mean? Nothing, except I completely see myself in Andre's description. What am I doing about it? Exercising, reading affirmations, trying to watch the diet (tough when broke) etc, etc.

But I read Andre's story and it makes me very sad.

> Software development does not cause mental illness.

Correct, no job/task does.

But burnout can, and any task/job/what-ever can cause that if you let yourself get into an unhealthy cycle while performing it. Development seems to be a task that is more prone to this though, I think because with many other tasks (that are more physical) other parts of your body tend to give out first and you have to take a break (if only to sleep or (eventually) pass out if you don't sleep voluntarily) before the point where your brain jumps track.
Most of us end up feeling that "we are under achievers" because of always looking people ahead of us. Sometimes we made bad choices, sometimes we didn't even know all the choices, other times we didn't work hard enough there can be hundreds of explanations to where we are. But that doesn't help in deciding "where we want to go from now on". Infact the more you think about "what it could have been", the harder it becomes to answer the question "what it should be in future?"

One critical thing is to make sure you are comparing yourself to an actual, achievable potential; not an impossible fantasy.

As the proverb went, It's bad enough comparing yourself to Isaac Newton without comparing yourself to Kimball Kinnison. Eliezar Yudkowsky, http://lesswrong.com/lw/y7/the_super_happy_people_38/

Very inspiringm, I will consider doing the same thing with my side projects. Thanks !
I also have clinical depression, and this has also been my experience.

Something which also adds to the problems is that people so often condescend - 'you won't feel better unless you do X, Y or Z' and actually essentially accuse you of bringing it on yourself. And a lot of the problem is the guilt you feel about everything, so it's the worst possible thing you can do for a depressed person.

I find having some project that gives you an output is important, to contradict the standard 'oh don't spend so much time on a computer project' points. The alternative a lot of the time for me is spending all day in bed because I feel so low, so having an outlet matters. But of course you then find it hard to balance that.

Having said that, all the standard healthy advice is important too. It's just really important to differentiate between mild and severe depression - it's like the difference between having the flu and people recommending painkillers and having a serious chronic disease. The advice is good for mild depression but really not going to touch anything for the severe variety.

For people who are lucky enough not to suffer from severe depression - don't presume to know what it's like because you've felt a little bit low before.

Thanks, I suppose part of the problem is that I don't know what to do next. But that is something Ill work on and write about.

Ask HN: Where do people get motivation
The current trend is everything web. It seems much more productive also. Most of the tools don't even require compilation atleast upto a certain scale. What about people who work in more native areas, embedded systems, robotics, aerospace industry. Where do they get the motivation when all around they see that "only web is making people richer and famous".

Though that is still massively not "in budget" (which, despite us knowing the figures and many of us being capable of basic arithmetic, some politicians still have the balls to try claim).
unrelated to this thread, I would really love to hear more about your opinion of living in your country. if you find the time shoot me an email (in myprofile).
I have the same feelings, and I suspect it's what makes many people keep reading sites like HN.

There are these sentences which you say to yourself as a child - mine was "little boy wants to have everything" (that's what I said, actually, my mother still often tells me :)). My life pretty much resembles that - I have much, I do much (too much?), but I'm still wanting (everything). I think it boils down to the question "What is life for, anyway?". The answer I like best (found it in some book) is "For feeling love and joy, in every moment". Sounds corny, but whenever I follow it, I'm feeling at peace and content.

Feeling unsatisfied with what you have is what drives you and the rest of humanity forward, but it's certainly not healthy to remain in this state constantly. I bet in most cases the root cause is a feeling of inferiority, instilled by our parents' believes (which we have adopted) or traumas in childhood. We do great things (or feel bad because we don't do them) to silence this nagging feeling. We ought to be great externally, because we don't feel great internally. We want to prove that we are no failures.

It depends on what kind of job you want, I suppose. If you want to work on the more esoteric aspects of technology (OS or Database development) then your CS degree will be more relevant than if you want to make end-user-facing applications. Application development in the industry is far more about the product than it is about the technology.

As far as your experience with your less educated coworkers, if you look around you will find bad programmers of all backgrounds. You will find great programmers of all backgrounds. It's a fair question to ask if college is worth the incredible cost.
This Russell quote seems appropriate:

Thus, to sum up our discussion of the value of philosophy; Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves; because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.

Flatiron speaks to your calling malandrew:

"No one agrees on frameworks. It's difficult to get consensus on how much or how little a framework should do. Flatiron's approach is to package simple to use yet full featured components and let developers subtract or add what they want" http://flatironjs.org/ , Philosophy

I agree that the best thing about Node.js is how small, what tiny surface most modules have. Node, hopefully, can stay on this path so far away from the rest of the development world, can be a programming environment where people understand full stack how their application functions. I think not making frameworks or making them out of small modular systems is what it takes to make that win.

According to the 'scientists' of the field, we are the entitlement generation, raised by hippies who broke all the rules and taught us to do the same, for the betterment of our own well-being, putting ourselves above the demands of others.

Perhaps this is what the OP, and the rest of this generation, is feeling: A constant nagging feeling that we are not getting everything we should be from life and that we are succumbing to societal pressures, letting ourselves become slaves to the Man for a measly paycheck every month?

A lot of studies have pointed to this phenomenon, f.ex. that students these days expect nothing less than the perfect job where they will completely realize themselves and be very comfortable financially at the same time.

I know that I have some of that feeling too, which is why I sit night and day in front of this screen and keyboard hacking away at my escape plan from the life of a corporate drone. I do sometimes wonder if I'd be happier and healthier taking a reality check of my ambitions, and what will happen to me if I fail and have to clip the ID badge back on and check in Monday morning at BigCo.

Looking back at myself just a decade ago: Talking to young(er) people about life when they haven't lived is like trying to wake up someone who doesn't know they're asleep.

The spectrum of life lived, experiences had, and lessons positively learnt aren't wide, or often enough.

Without meaningful mentors, free of personal agendas, helping you push you push yourself, self-development can slow down.

The thing is, innovation and creativity live in the mindset of possibility, not doubt.

Building one skill trumps all others: discipline. First a healthy inner-dialogue, and improving discipline every day in every way.

We easily become undisciplined, so we seek the discipline of others instead of finding our own. Some march to someone else's orders, and follow the direction of others. Everyone's doing this framework? Everyone's building this? What am I missing out on? We feel left behind when our own feet aren't moving, let alone away from time wasting, resultless things like entreporn.

It takes a lot of self-directed effort to get in, and stay in a mindset of possibility, while not getting washed away in the self-doubt of others, or the blindness of your own.

Becoming and staying self-directed and relentless is a challenge, focussed on the right things even more, everything in life will want you to fit in if you let it.

All I know is if I'm doing what everyone's doing and using what everyone's using, I'll end up like everyone else.

Can you disclose me some Twitter stickers? This user's voice is saying, "stickers please!" In all seriousness, respecting the user is paramount. Facebook tends to respect themselves often at the expense of the user which is counterproductive: an engaged and trusting user base will lead to higher revenues.

This is disappointing to hear. For something so important to our immediate future, OAuth 2.0 is currently a mess. There are many different versions of the protocol -- some of which aren't backwards compatible -- and losing a leader like this is only going to make the situation worse.
I know that this may just sound like telling you what you've always heard ("Just be happy!") but I'm going to quote my graduation speech, because in it I tried as hard as I could to express a lesson I learned about happiness.

"As I’ve said before, we’ve learned many lessons during our time here, but if there is one I could share with you, it would be the difference between greed and happiness. It is alright to make your own happiness a priority in your life—actually, it’s quite healthy. It’s not greedy to try to make yourself happy. You just have to properly understand the difference. Greed is the acquisition of enjoyment by taking what you do not have. What most people forget, is that when you get whatever it is, you’ll only want more. Greed only begets greed. Happiness is enjoying what you have. Happiness is learning to be content with that which is good about your life. There will always be something you don’t have. There will always be something you could have done better. There will always be things you fail at. Being happy is remembering that despite this, there is still plenty to enjoy in your life. If there’s anything I can ask you to do with your short time on this Earth, it’s to be happy."

Further, from a piece of writing I did:

"I have seen many people who fail to prioritize their own happiness. I work very closely with someone who does so. They work tirelessly doing something they love, and they are quite good at it. They help countless people, and they do a fantastic job achieving everything they want. But they are miserable. In everything they do, they only see failure. They see what they have not done, and what they did not achieve, and they see the same in the actions of others. Despite their successes, which they readily recognize, they fixate upon that which they did not do. And so, no matter how much they achieve, nor how successful they are, they will always have a reason to be miserable. It’s horrifying. I cannot imagine living my life in this manner. It would be a life without purpose."

And so, try to remember, there will always be more. There will always be something you didn't do, or could have done. But focus on what you did do. How you have succeed. Accept it, and enjoy it. There is no greater standard to live up to. Love what you've done, and be happy :)
What do the two different symbols represent?
FRAND patents of the like Samsung are complaining about are usually patents on the individual component chip. Manufacturer of said chipset license the patent when they make the chipset then sell the chipset to downstream integrators like Apple. Given the cost of the chipset is far cheaper than the overall cost of the device 1c per chip is reasonable, especially when said chipset may require the licensing of hundreds of other patents as well and devices requiring several chipsets. If Samsung wins here they will effectively kill FRAND licensing and costs will increase significantly as everybody will now want $25 per device for their patents.

As part of the standards process Samsung has committed to licensing these patterns under Fair, Reasonably and Non-Discrimartory terms, which means they can't ask Apple for a different rate than they give say Motorola or HTC. Because Apple's Design patents are not FRAND they are under no obligation to give anything to Samsung.

Because Samsung's patents are standards essential you can't build a cellphone without needing them (hence the FRAND licensing), while its certainly possible to build a cellphone that doesn't violate Apple's design patents (RIM, Nokia et al don't seem to be getting sued for example). This doesn't mean that Apple is right for suing companies for violating them, but what Samsung is doing is far far worse.

In my experience, depression is something you can't cure. You can fix it for a while, but it always lurks, waiting to come back.

In my case, environmental changes ensure that it won't show up again as strong or as fast. I'm pretty sure I don't need medication right now.

But that's not to say I'm cured by any means. Just that I'm doing better and finding ways of coping with it.
Do you know of a stressful job that improves a person's mental state rather than degrades it? That is, what proportion of cases is "[i]n some cases?"

That's not what's mentioned in the email. It's clearly said that mental illness is almost like an offshoot of intelligence, not software development. The phrase 'trading life for a computing project' was a metaphor.

Jeff clearly mentions that obsessing over one thing is not worth it. Life's much more beautiful than that. This is not just for coding, but any profession requiring such heavy use of intelligence.
There's a great quote from Larry Smith's TED talk "Why you will fail to have a great career" that you might like:

> so they're technically two cities with the same name literally right next to each other, not one big city?

It's one metropolitan area, but governmentally, yes, it is 2 separate cities (+ a lot of suburban cities). Politically, it's a dysfunctional family. It's really hard to get anything done, but occasionally that works to the benefit because you have competing governments. Most of the time its a detriment though.

The sports teams get support from both sides of the state line.
It's saddening that people scrutinize everything literally and give opinions out of context. It's sometimes OK not to be scathingly logical and objective. We are humans, subjective and emotional beings, not binary numbers.
