  • Hi all. This is a short video on my intro to Stoicism for Programmers. Stoicism is a well documented and defined school of thought I could never properly do justice. I kept it as short as I can. :)

    As an experienced programmer, everything BigBox talks about is right on. It's clear he knows what he's talking about and dropping very precious gems of knowledge. Another on-point video, my dude!

      Depends on the individual. Stepping away from the screen and journaling with pen and paper to be beneficial.

    I am sorry but stoicism is not a silver bullet for managing psychological well being of programmers - it encourages numbing emotions and feelings, which regardless of how painful they might be, they demand a time and place to be felt as part of a healthy psychological well being.

    1. You were a gamer and switched to programming
    2. You were once in tutorial hell or are there right now
    3. You have only two phases - superiority complex or - imposter syndrome
    4. You love cats
    5. On some days you love programming on others you puke at the thought of writing code
    6. You are jacked (because strong mind requires strong vessel) or on the way to become jacked
    7. You watch anime
    8. You would rather stay at home than go out (introvert)
    9. You are a stoic or at least try to be one
    10. You use some sort of note taking to keep organized (like zettlekasten)
