Gaah, how do you deal with general feeling of "everything's shit"?

The work thing I used to love and felt like it was impactful (Unity) has been going downhill for many years, and so far does not look like it wants to stop going downhill.

What I dabble with now (Blender) feels useful, but I'm too afraid to take on more impactful areas/work/responsibilities.

And then, everything outside of "just ye olde coding" feels like it is going to shit.

Argh!

@aras Quite badly. I think finding some little corner that you enjoy noodling in and where there are others you can have nice interactions with is all anyone can really do right now. Everything “big” seems to have gone to shit, there are forces there that seem to want to push it further downhill, but there’s still joy in the small things and other decent folks

@sinbad @aras one has to wonder though how long hiding and noodling in a corner is still ok. Yes, by all means, take care of yourself first. But all it takes for the crazies to firmly establish themselves is for good men to do nothing...

@BuschnicK @aras I’m not suggesting doing nothing. But there’s only so much getting angry at people thousands of miles away can achieve

@aras Also: floofs.
