I’m 37, married with two kids. Flying to Scotland for a week next Monday. Life is what you make it. I’m happier than I was at 22, no question.

I think it’s a matter of expectations. I use stock Ubuntu and GNOME and have almost zero customizations. I haven’t touched it except to upgrade since 2018 and have had zero issues. I get it though. I also use an M1 and love it.

I keep count! If I know I had 4 ideas on a run, I can usually bring them back to mind if I focus. Even holding my fingers in the four position with one down helps. Sounds a little odd but I’ve found I do my best work while walking the dog&#

Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an editor I know well, have configured, and can zip around i

My usual approach is to comment stuff out while debugging/developing. Works well.

Yeah, but man does he get some great guests from time to time. Really enjoyed Travis Oliphant and Todd Howard in addition to the ones the parent listed.

Y’all are one of my favorite podcasts. Loved the vim and neovim episodes. Heroku and Tauri ones too. Keep up the good work.

Appreciate the insight. All fair points. I guess part of the problem is inertia and comfort level. You figure out how to do something well in one language and it gets harder to start from scratch in another one. Point is well made about the

We self host Mattermost and it works well. Logs are in Postgres which is nice. Building the React Native app was not super fun but we have some experience in that already which helped. It's a good alternative for teams unwilling to she

This is a good approach. More people should do this. I should do this.

I’m horrible about this. I ask a question and then answer it, hold a whole conversation with myself and the poor recipient. Someone take away my Mattermost login!

Thanks for the links! I like the idea of a changed mindset. That sort of thing can be useful in and of itself as an educational exercise.

Honestly? I’m interested in it and wanted an excuse to give it a try. No more compelling reason than that.

Thanks for the insight! I am the team--everything before was done quite manually with spreadsheets. I already work in the organization but have been promoted out of development into this new role so I'm blessed to have a large amount o

This happened to me the other day with sqlx. Tried to duplicate the quick start example and got a slew of errors. I should make a ticket, maybe I did something wrong.

That's good to know! I got burned pretty bad trying to switch away from actix-web to one of the other frameworks (rocket, gotham, warp) after the whole kerfuffle and lost my taste for Rust as a backend web language as a result. Seeing

I love this and have also used a txt file for years. I’ve moved from Google Docs to Vimwiki to org mode for notes, todos, and journaling. Most recently I’ve started incorporating a moleskine notebook to take to meetings for note taking and

100% agree about seeing a therapist. I also resisted for years because I thought it was a waste of time and money. Now that I see one once a week I've come to realize how useful it can be to have a person you can go to who is paid to b
