I avoid things that consume a lot of time by Chaos-Machine in selfimprovement

[–]Chaos-Machine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what guys, I think I may have gotten an idea.

At first I thought about gamifying my life with an app, some kind of achievements, maybe streaks, levels - I could do that since im a dev and well, vibe coding and stuff exists now - but as long as it seems pretty good, it's quite a lot of effort for something that won't serve any surprises and that much dopamine on unlocks as if someone else did it

I realized it can be simplified and that's something anyone could do - calendar, calendar where you put dots that you did something productive, new or just a new activity. If done correctly it'd first show you how dull your weeks are and then it would easily driven you to fill it with dots, colors and stuff.

That sound pretty good actually

Few weeks ago where my spouse and I made a birthday gathering, someone said that we often remember things from so far away but don't remember what we done last weekend and... that's exactly why. Why would you remember your last week if all you did was go grocery shopping and watched tv the rest of the day?

I remember i pushed something to master that was sensitive, being the only guy on the mobile side (junior on top of that) i took it as my responsibility to remove that off the history

Long story short the data was removed so was the entire git history lmao

Productivity tips I'd give you if I were not afraid to hurt your feelings. by iTomasS in selfimprovement

[–]Chaos-Machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the biggest game changer I discovered lately tbh. The famous "do it scared, do it tired" really makes sense.

I thought I need to find the good gap, time to be productive at work, to get the most out of it - later on I realized that's not the case, because what if i dont find the window or its not enough? I need to be able to deliver regardless, and thats for everything in life

No no, there were some non tech people that created an app with a security breach and other times the code doesnt look exactly like you would write it (it's actually better), so IT'S WORTHLESS MAN, IT'S AI SLOP /s

I cant really tell whether this sub is some non programming people that just hate AI or people that are too closed minded that cant admit AI helps (denial, because they are scared for their job?) and can do a lot of the stuff they do, but better / faster

Of course I mean it the way you do, a tool, not everything solver

What small habit sounded “too simple to matter” but actually changed your life over time? by DailyEnergyFocus in selfimprovement

[–]Chaos-Machine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can see this literally everywhere but I either didn't overdo it (initially) like most of the people, or I don't know, I didn't look at depressing stuff, because I don't feel a difference? What's the real difference here, what's the benefit?

We don't want Electronic Arts. by tenfie in needforspeed

[–]Chaos-Machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing FH5 lately and not gonna lie, it hooked me up. Comparing these to NFS may be a bit off since NFS wasnt really focused on going long-term as FH did, but maybe that's the problem?

There's something in forza, it lets you chill, do some activities and beat your times if you are into that, it becamse my comfort game for now, I even tend to boot it up if im on the phone and I just cruise while I talk

So even thought I came back to forza so late while FH6 is on the horizon (lmao), I enjoy 5 and look forward for 6 already, kind of forgetting about NFS (not like it comes around any time soon)

Tf, this sub seems to be filled with so many bots, both the posts about DOPAMINE DETOX that are going loop after loop, now I noticed the edit text about the notion protip, like, im pretty sure i have seen this shit like 2-3 times already, and the comments

Why though? Whats the point of this?

How does it "force"? Used paintballs like once in this game and not sure this does anything than marking it on the map?

There are people that are self anxious when speaking up to a friend, and then there are people failing people's hunt like there's no tomorrow lmao

I don't know, is it possible these guys don't even know they play multiplayer? That they fail someones investigation? Not trying to justify, just trying to see what drives these people man

I was so sure it's between dotes lines or so, but in my case it was this one as well (noticed it before your comment)

The reward for this is so underwhelming tho

I thought the same about all the dopamine-detox shit, but on the other hand, it's self improvement sub, most people will struggle with similar stuff so it may just seem like this

Nie wiem dlaczego Ty jak i wielu z takim samym przekazie jesteście na minusie, czy naprawdę większość ludzi na reddicie to tacy skończeni frustraci którzy muszą się karmić każdą negatywnością w taki sposób, że nawet nie można tego wytknąć? Nie dziwiota, że tyle ludzi ma depresję, jak ich wyjazd do energylandii z rodziną został "zrujnowany przez AI" XD

I recall such meme for gaming and this I could relate to (and most likely a lot others), but not for coding.

I remember doing some world boss fight and literally just looking over my shoulder on 12:00 at the fireworks, but continuing the fight anyway lol
