How do you stay persistent in a long (and hard) path? Ordered life maximizes efficiency. Although it bores and demotivates quickly. At least for me and creative friends. But I neither favor chaotic life, because it has too low persistence for many things. Some things need high persistence and focus in order to develop them. For example, I can't develop and test feature X quickly because it relies on complex logic, it needs design which is about to develop in one week, UI code is one of things which can't be generated efficiently. So I probably need to save my work in a way, which can easily be continued later. Also for this reason software engineers have design patterns: it's easier to place modular bricks together, than to place brick in entangled labyrinth. But too much depth of patterns leads to "over-engineering": it's a situation when you spend much more on coding than on implementing a feature. So depth of design patterns correlates with instrinsic complexity of feature and delegation of work. But there are other, non-technical ways to "save and continue" progress. Diary. I can write what I've done this day, which insights I've had this day, what to do next day, and then read it. So that short and mid term memory keeps a track with long and persistent path, which can be detalized, glued, executed, rewarded etc. in progress. It's like a very small friend. Old but good. #blog #thoughts #pesistence #work #diary #slowlife image

I love slow life and I sometimes can do hustle. Sometimes not. I just love meaningful and exciting life. However I used to see these concepts as contradictory. #blog #thoughts #slowlife #philosophy

But I love hierarchical typologies of thinking. Just like I love math and linguistic classes in a school. Just like I love LeetCode for learning programming. Just like I love Medium articles on front-end development with common patterns. #blog #thoughts #thinking #hierarchy

It's funny to see how complexity of thinking is reduced to hierarchical typologies of many degrees. I could add 100, 1000, 10_000 etc. more layers to hierarchy - it still can be navigated in 2D manner. It is a 3D brain with feedback loops which develop in time, and development has many possibilities, and these possibilities are influenced from self-reflection on interaction with environment... And is it reduced to hierarchical typology? Seriously? Even physical deterministic reduction is funny. Even probablistic modelling reduction is funny. #blog #thoughts #thinking

Many people may ask something like: "how does cooking relate to programming which is your career and passion? how does your philosophical speech relate to it either?". Actually side hobbies help me in developing programming skills, when current abstract understanding hits a wall. For example, cooking activated more clarity for multitasking/parallel programming in me. Idk how this works. Brain is wonderful. And philosophical posts are a form of reflection and leisure. And reflection is essential to understand software development at different levels: from coding to architecture to business. Not everything is effectively implemented solely at code or architecture level tho. #blog #thoughts #programming #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #hobbies #leisure

I love cooking and recently I've made up a modification of original French puree (my favorite cozy dish for dinner), when I could not find a leek on local markets. The recipe is as follows: 1. Boil and then smash potatoes in the same way as in original puree. 2. The dressing is what differentiates my recipe from original recipe. Melt the butter until it starts to boil. Then fry and stir one or two heads of garlic for 2 minutes. 3. Turn off fire. Then add 200 ml of 3.2-6% milk to the mix as in the original puree. And mix it. 4. Then add this mix to the smashed potatoes and further smash it. As in the original recipe. 5. Then add black pepper and sea salt and mix it. #blog #cooking #recipe #cozy #cozydish #puree #potatoes #frenchcuisine #creativecooking image

I think that the "hustle only" culture is a big meme based on spatial-temporal reduction of real growth and high trust distribution of resources. It's a meme forced by those who have better initial conditions than poor people. And thus it is a rationalization of the hamster-in-the-wheel type of work like: "we are rich because we work so hard and so efficiently". #blog #thoughts #hustle #culture #work

It is also interesting to see how natural environment influences cultural traits. Both from individual experience and analysis of history of humanity and geography. When I was living in Ural, I tended towards submissive-only behavior and totality of destiny. However, I still holded individualism, exploratism and creativity as core values besides harmony. And when I has been living in Southern countries with mild climate, I have become more communicative, friendly and opportunistic. Or is it just coincidence accompanied by ageing and development? Or both? When I analysed history of monotheism and despotic models of rule, I came into insight that these originated in countries with extreme weather conditions, extreme natural resources scarcity and high population density in areas, where conditions are quite better. While rich arts, science and humanistic ideals with emphasis on individualism and variadic degree of cooperation originated in southern countries with rich soil, greenery and mild climate. #blog #thoughts #worldview #philosophy

It's interesting to spot how different fundamental values of individuals can lead to the same cultural traits. For example, my favor of slow life, dislike of "hustle only" culture, even some "left" ideas (I neither like ultra-right ideals with "everyone should survive on their own", nor communism, anti-entrepreneurism, anti-privacy). And my internet friend share the same traits. However, he comes from deterministic and objectivist perception of Universe, and I come from non-deterministic and subjectivist perception of Universe with determinism localized in exploitable by human models. And this is where our views on society, living a life, doing work diverge. He's kinda communist with strong formalization of different personality types. I'm kinda libertarian who associates positive (or cooperative) societal inequality with parenting, mentoring and friendship, and negative (or parasitic) societal inequality with unidirectional exploitation of people (viewing them as "farm animals", "craftable and destroyable tools" or "extractable resources"). #blog #thoughts #worldview #philosophy
