mkummon Atlast – Autodesk Threaded Language Application System Toolkit

mkummon Ask HN: What changes in your life did you make to become more productive?

mkummon Destroy All Software relaunches

Love the site, but $348 a year feels really steep. Glad I purchased most of the library before the pricing model change.

mkummon A simple way to validate your startup idea

Anyone else find it strange that the "blog" only has one post?

mkummon To-Do Lists Don't Work

I have never seen someone successfully guess at how long tasks will take and use that as a method of planning. At some point you are dropping tasks off, or adding them to your day which means you are still working with some prioritization system. Save your calendar for time-critical events/tasks, everything else is a list, hopefully prioritized.

mkummon More people should write

I am sincerely encouraged. My biggest block has been that writing is hard and I have been way too critical of my own work. Looking for the perfect method, etc has stopped me from progressing. Thank you for your comments

mkummon Kube - CSS framework

I actually agree. I have been programming for the web for about 8 years now and looking back, I wish that the web server had not been such a mystery - it would have been helpful.
