        Rule 0: Disconnect from the network, both wired and wireless. ** ** For the duration you need to focus.

          I can get very little done unconnected. The app I'm working on requires an internet connection just to log in. Yeah, I could comment this out and hard code a successful login, but we know where tricks like that lead.

            Look what happens when you focus too much.[^]

            The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
            This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

              They lead to you getting to do the interestintg stuff while you leave the boilerplate to your minions as an exercise.

                If you think that's important, why did you want your account back? :laugh:

                  What I meant was: - Pre-processing: Download all info needed, as PDFs, videos, etc. - Focus time: Disconnect, read and watch them, and solve your problem. - Then, back to network.

                    I have no minions. Just started here. Despite my admittedly dismal Angular skills.

                            I was joking with you...and generally, it doesn't work like that, except for fairly trivial problems. You Google, you read, you google again, you read, you think you have a solution, you check, you start looking again, you... Disconnecting slows you down, rather than allowing you to focus better. The best aid to focus I have found is to take a break and do something completely different! :laugh:

                                Read that line again! It means - lie to yourself as what you are doing just now was fun and inspiring!

                                      yeah,you are right. I have attended an interview one month ago,I got cleared 2 rounds in that company, and then next was system test, it was strange test i didn't complete that one and i asked the interviewer i need internet connection to do , then he said that we don't have internet connection in our office, i was totally upset, and i wondered how ?

                                        Look what happens when you focus too much.[^]

                                        The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
                                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                          I was joking with you...and generally, it doesn't work like that, except for fairly trivial problems. You Google, you read, you google again, you read, you think you have a solution, you check, you start looking again, you... Disconnecting slows you down, rather than allowing you to focus better. The best aid to focus I have found is to take a break and do something completely different! :laugh:

                                          Nah, the "Next Generation" coders are much smarter. They just post a question in QA and ask for teh working codezz. :-D

                                          You have just been Sharapova'd.
