Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness? 472 by fickleycurious | 224 comments on Hacker News. I have realized that I easily give up when I face a hard problem. This is hurting my career prospects. I have been thinking and it may have become an issue because I grew up in a high pressure environment, where a lot is expected from you. How do I change myself ? I have observed that a lot of times I have a vague idea of a problem I am trying to solve but I don't put in the effort to nail it down. This affects my confidence and I don't want to lead whenever I get an opportunity. How do I get out of this habit ?

Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare? 453 by zachrip | 74 comments on Hacker News. I'm a 24 y/o full stack engineer (I know some of you are rolling your eyes right now, just highlighting that I have experience on frontend apps as well as backend architecture). I've been working professionally for ~7 years building mostly javascript projects but also some PHP. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a condition called "Usher's Syndrome" - characterized by hearing loss, balance issues, and progressive vision loss. I know there are blind software engineers out there. My main questions are: - Are there blind frontend engineers? - What kinds of software engineering lend themselves to someone with limited vision? Backend only? - Besides a screen reader, what are some of the best tools for building software with limited vision? - Does your company employ blind engineers? How well does it work? What kind of engineer are they? I'm really ...

Ask HN: How can I pick a side project and stick with it? 491 by corecoder | 303 comments on Hacker News. I'm a web developer and DevOps engineer. I know a few languages and frameworks very well, I can find my way around with a good deal of other languages and frameworks, and I'd like to learn a lot more. My problem is that I cannot seem to be able to pick a project (any project) and stick with it long enough to do any meaningful progress, let alone finishing it. It's been several years since I've managed to work on a side project for more than two days continually. I sit before the computer thinking: I know! I'll write a roguelike in X! Five minutes later, I'm thinking: fuck roguelikes! I'll write a graphical solitar card game with Y! Five minutes later, I don't care for it anymore, and would rather write an isomorphic strategy game in Z.

Ask HN: What are your favorite low-coding apps / tools as a developer? 433 by sureklix | 125 comments on Hacker News. Since low-coding is super trendy these days, I was wondering if there are actually useful apps not only for non-devs but also for lazy-devs? I tried couple of no-code apps, but found them inflexible –not really giving you the opportunity to dive-in and customize.

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: An eBook with hundreds of GNU Awk one-liners

Show HN: An eBook with hundreds of GNU Awk one-liners 483 by asicsp | 43 comments on Hacker News. Hi, I recently published my ebook on GNU awk one-liners [1]. It starts from the basics of awk syntax and then discusses one-liner examples. There's a chapter on regular expressions as well. The github repo has the details on how to get the PDF version, all the example files and code snippets used in the book, sample chapters as well the markdown source used to generate the PDF. I made all my ebooks [2] free last month amidst the pandemic fears. These include GNU grep & ripgrep, GNU sed and three books on regular expressions (Python, Ruby, JavaScript). I'd appreciate your feedback and hope the books are useful. Happy learning :) [1] https://ift.tt/3bOKoIP [2] https://ift.tt/389FB3W
