i broadly agree with you -- i'm not sure it has to do with the author's age, per se, but productivity advice based on recent changes to the author's systems ought to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

that said, i do think it is good to share what one is trying and whatnot -- blogging is cheap. for example, while the reader-beware above applies to this post and most of the ideas were familiar to me, i had never thought to record my screen while i code to get feedback, despite the fact that i record myself regularly to asses performance in music! that bit alone made it worth the 5 min it took to read.

I'd suggest that blogging (good blogging, anyway) is not exactly cheap. It can take a day or two for me to write one of my articles.

I will do this in order to take a break from my coding "head."
