How does one keep up the mental discipline to code? I'd like to raise my game and accept one of these $140,000 job offers that comes to my LinkedIn every other month... but I get bored so quickly and end up smoking weed instead....

Tony B. @NewWorldOptimist ha, I can tell you firsthand it's not. I scroll thru twitter like a dying man in search of water, for some positive news about the future, and then your transhuman and other futuristic tweets pop up and make me feel like I'm not totally...

Tony B. Seems inefficient. The more time I spend at coding the better I get. I don't have children or a strong desire for an intense social life. Why wouldn't I code all day everyday and make a lot of money? Why can't I is the more appropriate question. Maybe it's...
