Coding is simply the act of giving instructions to a computer. Those instructions are written in programming languages that follow specific rules, but at a beginner level, the focus is not on perfection or complexity. It is on learning how to think through problems step by step. Learning to code helps you: understand how websites and applications work break problems into smaller, manageable pieces think logically and clearly about processes build confidence through hands-on creation develop skills that transfer across many roles

Have you ever had a facepalm moment when you're troubleshooting a problem, and suddenly a cause or solution you'd overlooked becomes obvious? You sheepishly realize you'd wasted time going down the wrong track. This happened to me recently. I was working on a coding project, and a small error was driving me batty. I kept asking an AI chatbot to fix my code, but none of the fixes solved it.

AI not only makes my life easier in some ways - it also helps my kids prepare for the world they're entering. AI is inevitable.

Depression may serve evolved functions, such as signaling defeat or promoting problem-solving. It may be a result of trade-offs in human evolution or a mismatch with the modern environment.

EEG signals of sleep are associated with improved performance on cognitive tasks, as evidenced by various historical figures experiencing insights after naps.

Sales is about solving problems rather than pushing products. Start with discovery by asking open-ended questions to uncover client pain points, listening more than talking.

First principles thinking is literally just breaking down complicated problems into their basic, underlying facts and rebuilding solutions afresh from scratch. Instead of analogizing solutions from one's own background (or worse, copying competitors), this process forces you to question assumptions, drill down, and generate true innovation.

Perseverance is the difference between success and defeat. To persevere is to remain constant in a purpose, idea, or task in the face of obstacles and discouragement.

Overthinkers are constantly evaluating how they can improve themselves. They naturally focus on personal growth and self-betterment. Growth isn't an occasional effort - it's their default mindset.
