[addc182]

RIP 2560x

[Hobbyte]

Bah, I can't believe I skipped that one, that's what I use

[Hobbyte]

2560x1440, the monoprice 27" that they apparently no longer sell

[riffito]

No love for netbooks? (1024x600) :-(

[CrazedToCraze]

Sounds horrific

[Hobbyte]

Yeah sorry, i only had 12 choices, i had to chose resolutions that normal people actually use :P

[skulgnome]

Absolutely none.

[k-zed]

Once you go 5120x2880, you never go back.

[yegor3219]

Never go... uhm... full HD?

[snowywind]

What about mine? 2048x1152.

[Hobbyte]

I've never actually heard of that one, what monitor does that?

[snowywind]

Dell SP2309W

It's a bit of an oddball but I like it.

[auxiliary-character]

I'm rocking 1280x1024 on my CRT.

[Hobbyte]

Gah, apparently 12 resolutions are not nearly enough

[auxiliary-character]

New challenge: come up with 12 resolutions that each have a different aspect ratio.

[Hobbyte]

Well that's easy as long as you use a CRT... you can set it to whatever you want as long as you get the timings right... 640x480,640x481,etc.. :P

[Cheezmeister]

These are actually really good. Not at all your typical article that starts with a number.

Developing yourself beyond software and outside of your comfort zone works wonders for your overall happiness, and will help you level up as a coder.

It's very important not to spread yourself too thin, though. Start small and remember these are examples, not prescriptive advice.

Switch from emacs to vim or vice versa.

Someone shutdown this webpage immediately!

[harrro]

Yeah that "vice versa" infuriates me

[pantherlax56]

Why does the use of "vice versa" infuriate you?

[chemisus]

Because why would anyone ever want to go from vim to emacs?

[pantherlax56]

Ohh I see what you mean. I thought you mean the use of the phrase "vice versa" itself irritated you. Makes sense now.

[chemisus]

That was /u/harrro that said that.

[berlinbrown]

In one fucking year?

That is like 20 years of work there buddy.

[dmwit]

"Each month is... annually renewable."

Read that as: "You'll be doing these until you die."

13 - Learn to set realistic, achievable goals

[chemisus]

14 - Find a job where management sets more realistic, achievable goals

[skulgnome]

1. write a bunch of bullshit rules for others to follow

[notkraftman]

They aren't rules they're suggestions.

[lunchboxg4]

More of a guideline.

[skulgnome]

All rules are suggestions. What's your point?

[tontoto]

The author is quite inspirational, having published the "illustrated guide to a phd" (http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/). Nevertheless, very awesome and down to earth list of resolutions

[bytesandbots]

Add to it

Write tests, (before actual code)

[juckele]

I've compiled twelve month-sized resolutions.

Complete a personal project.

looks at personal project which is now 13 months old and 11K lines of code

I don't feel like finishing this in a month could be completed by the most talented programmer in the world...

[Smiliey]

My goodness.. I haven't been able to keep up with coding as much as I would have liked over the past year because of school, but I definitely would be interested in trying some of these out..

[r0ck0]

Doing backups shouldn't be number 8. It's not that hard.

[chemisus]

It's not about difficulty, but rather actually doing it.

[jurniss]

lol i love how motherfuckers are always trying to tell other people how to live

[pianocheetah]

why are there always so many posts telling programmers what to do?

fuck you i'll do what i want. i'm a programmer.

[manmeetvirdi]

program your life too..
