jmarchello··on Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
> The only reason why this product is still surviving and still works is due to literally millions of tests!

Lesson learned. Always write tests. Your business will depend on it.

jmarchello··on Against software development
This is so true. There is a lost art of software architecture and design.
jmarchello··on Ask HN: In a bad spot right now in life, need advice
Do you play a lot of video games? If so, I would recommend dropping them completely. At lest until your life is where you want it. I spent all HS playing video games and regret loosing so much time of my life. What’s more, they are highly addictive and have severely stunted the progress of many people I know closely. It will probably be hard but you’ll be amazed the difference it makes in your ability to work hard and stay motivated.
jmarchello··on Ask HN: Help (no life thread)
You may want to look into having your hormone levels tested. A lack of drive may be attributed to that. If not, listen to the advice regarding depression.
jmarchello··on Ask HN: Is it ever okay for a physically healthy person to self terminate?
Hey, I think you should talk to someone. Please call this number. 1-800-273-8255.
jmarchello··on Ask HN: What's one book that changed your life?
The Book of Mormon.

It teaches about Jesus Christ and answers questions like “Where do we come from?”, “Why are we here?”, and “What happens after we die?”. It’s had a incredible effect on my life by helping me understand the purpose of my life and provides the right perspective when making big decisions in my life.

I know it’s a true book that can change the life of anyone who reads it.

jmarchello··on Ask HN: What benefits does the blockchain provide?
Blockchain’s potential goes far beyond currency and investing. At it’s core it’s a way to protect and validate information in a decentralized way. That can be used for ANY information.

In theory a blockchain could serve as the source of truth for birth records, health records, property records, favorite cat videos, etc... The possibilities are endless

jmarchello··on Ask HN: How many coffee do you need per day to get your work done?
0. As long as I get 6-7 hours of sleep I can be pretty productive throughout the day. Have you tried going for a walk during your lunch hour?
