It just blew my mind out of the park

togusa2017··on Ask HN: How do you set a goal and stay focused?
Two things that helped me - Setting realistic goal. Implying Decide 5 things and then trimming them to top 3. Do everyday a little of each 3. - Deadlift. I know there is no co-relation but it helps me keep a clear mind and get more focused on other aspect of life and goals.

togusa2017··on Ask HN: Expecting Promotion but Now My Manager Is Leaving
Couldn't have said better. But from my experience, assume the worst and be ready to walk away.
togusa2017··on Ask HN: What are your heuristics for deciding which HN links to click on?
If its anything I expect their will be fights and complains. Hell yeah inam clicking those l. For now my mind looks for

1. Uber screwed up in a new way.

2. How interview process sucks.

3. Why this X language / framework sucks or we are leaving this.

togusa2017··on Ask HN: How did you find your passion?
For me it's commit to th unknown if you have 1percent of interest and if you could do that job without any motivation that's your job. If not then move ahead to another until you click. Keep repeating .
togusa2017··on Ask HN: What 'smartphone' should I get my mother?
i would say ipad.

1. Bigger display.

2. Lesser chances of clicking the unknown.

3. When things are bigger, they look more friendly.

togusa2017··on Ask HN: Is going back to college worth it if you already have experience?
My 2cents would be if you want yourself to be markatable, anything less then top tier school is waste and won't do any good. But if your objective is to learn and have a new experience then ur good with alot of schools.
togusa2017··on Ask HN: React Native or Not
I think all depends on the project. In ur case a Coursera app would be easy to do even with video play back. But issues seep in when you try to do complex features and their bugs and implementation. My 2:cents would be time box your react native implementation and decide if it's worth it.

togusa2017··on Ask HN: How do you balance side project time?

togusa2017··on Ask HN: How do you record your personal finances?

togusa2017··on Ask HN: How to not fail on coding interview questions?
Before this discussion starts between how the interview process sucks. Here is my 2 cents:

1. Pick up leetcode (or whatever rocks ur boat).

2. Do a lot easy questions and understand the pattern.

3. Do medium level questions and understand the pattern.

4 If you are aiming for Big 4 do Hard.

Coding interviews is all about finding the pattern and applying it. Only way to be good at it is practice. Don't give interviews without some practice.

togusa2017··on My CSS3 Animated Resume
not to be discourage you but i liked it artistically but functionality wise its quite low. You are fighting with users attention span and you go to present your best work asap on the web page. I hope i make sense.
togusa2017··on Ask HN: What are you using for http load testing?
I agree. I also love wrk and it is pretty useful and allows scripting
togusa2017··on Ask HN: Is there no place for people, who are average at something?
What's best . I always had this issue when I work with someone, in the initial weeks I find him/her best and smart but as time goes buy I just see them as average or below average just putting up a facade or may it's me - I just suck at judging people. So the point is best is very misleading thing to look for and very referential
