Came across this inconsistency in my attempt to refactor my_each_with_index
def my_each_with_index
index = 0
# self.my_each {|item| yield item, index and index += 1}
# ^^^ look into why this doesn't work
#
self.my_each do |item|
yield item, index
index += 1
end
end
The importance and reverence of Deep Work in this book was actually humbling. I haven't produced much deep work since College. The closest I come is sitting down and working on code or my prior plannings with a fermentation business. Both allow research to be done and writing or content to be produced. This was more an abstract way of framing Deep Work as what is most enjoyable and highest order on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (self actualization), while also explaining the daily dredge we normally deal with. Some of the methodology seems sound enough, I've heard it elsewhere, but it has been captured in a unique way here. Instead of focusing on just a generalized 'better you' the focus is on better 'best you'. Focus work can be a super power in the modern world.
Read this book in a couple of days, rented form the library using Libby. Mostly on humanizing your life in order to out compete AI. A lot of different jobs are going to majorly change over the coming years as new tools are created in order to increase profits and effective work per employee. Gig economies are the mechanical turk of a hopeful community who would rather see the whole thing automated and become a money printing machine.
