Dr. Hyde, is that you?!
kvprashant··on Valentine greeting with bash script (terminal)
williame gave a good lesson! Seriously, you just download a script randomly and execute it without first checking it. And I'd probably understand if it was a heroku script or something but a valentine script seriously?!
kvprashant··on How do you tell a non-technical person that they can’t understand?
If you can't convince them, confuse them eh?
kvprashant··on Inspiration is procrastination's cousin
Well written. Inspiration comes from doing; a feeling of perseverance; a lot of passion. It does not mean that you have to keep working on your idea. You just have to live in it. No matter what you're doing, your mind has to start working on focusing on that one thing you're out to achieve.
kvprashant··on UK company is shutting down email for a week as an experiment
I love the way that it has 0 training in-built. There's no need to get training for not doing something; only know that you don't need to do it :)

I think they did not mean to stop using emails in the sense of not using it at all. It is more about making it efficient. Check out the part where they suggest '3 and no more'. Imagine going in endless email loops like Inception :)

kvprashant··on Ask HN: How do you organise your workspace?
Minimal is the best way. Get rid of all the clutter. Even if it means going wireless with your physical workspace. Don't annoy your eyes with portraits or quotes. You are all the motivation you need. You need to focus. The same goes for virtual workspace. Do not keep too many tabs open; too much CPU; too much Ctrl+Tab. Try to keep the workspace as free as possible and you'll find that it works incredibly well in keeping you focused. This works well for me. For e.g., if I am working on an app, it's only vi, stackoverflow, github and windows with related docs. Everything else like FB, twitter, mail remains closed.
