I don’t think people understand just how much code is about to be written. I’m not trying to be smug or provocative. I mean we are about to witness the dissolution of the concept of software.

hot take: cmake would not exist if *nix people (i am including myself in that set) collectively took portability of software seriously. no, i do not consider "i kept adding preprocessor statements until it ran on AIX and then relied on a mixture of fear and guilt for everyone else to not touch them for the next decade" serious

The only thing that helps me with my mental health (ADHD / Depression / anxiety / Cyclothymia) is hard exercise. It has to be like 170 BPM for 30-45 minutes. Three times a week at minimum.

It feels like better than the best meds, with no hangover (other than muscle soreness and sweaty clothes).

I know this doesn’t work for everyone but if you have ADHD, I recommend you give it a try. Rowing machine plus exercise bike plus running or especially trail running.

I have to make time for it and tell everyone who wants to interrupt my routine to fuck off. ❤️

Man, this January has sure been a rough one in terms of telling apart seasonal depression from regular depression... or just completely rational responses to the state of the world.

Folks I don’t know about you but I’m not feeling good about most of this *gestures towards internet*

It seems like there is a slow, but relentless trickle back onto twitter.

I don’t think anyone should be watching several multi-hour videos on how to configure your text editor but here I am.
