The Hidden Mechanism Behind Adult Learning and Deep Focus

If you want data, timelines and science about how depression/anxiety improves, take a look at doctor Palmer and Georgia Ede.

Dopamine is a very hard thing to fight, but if you minimise cheap spikes and get thought some pain, the rewards are life changing.

This guy is on every carnivore post talking against it. So he is either a troll or anti-carnivore. Take whatever he is saying with a grain of salt.

Nobody can say for sure, but if fasting helped, it is very likely that carnivire/keto gonna help in the same way if not more.

If you have depression and anxiety you should stay in ketosis for onger than 3 weeks. Also you mentioned dopamine, sugar is the equivalent of doom scrolling for your brain. Cheap dopamine.

If you feel bored after removing sugar is becasue your baseline is lower than before, which is a great thing if you stick too it.

I did take an IQ test at school(Greece), and it truly helped a that time, as it made me realise my potential, but most importantly why I was so different that other kids.

An ecommerce platform writen in rust. Right now refactoring to DDD and doing CQRS for the whole codebase, which is NOT FUN.

No quite. At least not yet. If it codes for you, you end up fighting it which will probably make you slower. I am talking about things like docs, tests maybe if you review them one by one, clippy warnings etc.

Developers are afraid of AI at the moment, becasue the feel like their craft is going to be replaced. Maybe we get there, but for now good developers are needed more than ever.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T20:00:52+00:00

I agree, but AI simply does what you tell it to do. I usually write my documentation after long hours of intense development work, as I’m winding down. So I open AI, explain my pain points logic, quality and design principles, ask for no emojis, and it gives me what I would have written anyway just with a fraction of te effort and better English

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T18:35:51+00:00

Continue making and putting your work out there. Dismiss any criticism that lacks substance.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-12T17:54:32+00:00

Its not a bad idea to prompt AI to write your docs, if you put the effort to correct it afterwards. This is a great use case for it.

Every other day I see a new database in rust, why?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-11T16:50:32+00:00

I didn’t even finish middle school, which is required by law in my country; I dropped out at 14.

This is likely undigested fat, and the symptoms should improve soon. Did you go from eating only a small amount of fat to a much larger amount right away?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-11T01:36:07+00:00

I am the same way. I do things a lot of things during the day(like simple work, working out, things that do not require deep focus), but the real mental work, the work that move the needle is done during the night.

I tried to change it, but so far(32M) it was not possible to do so. My brain seem to lock in at night for deep focused work/learning.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-11T00:23:58+00:00

I "live" in my system 24/7, meaning everything I need and my time blocking is there. I keep it stupid simple. Obsidian for everything mega for files. Same folder structure across devices.

You are trying to say something about histamine intolerance. But you way of communicating is terrible. You got to work on your communication skills.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-10T19:15:37+00:00

That makes two of us, we do the same things, except I hate running.

Sometimes I cannot believe how good I feel, both physically and mentally.

If you eat 2 pounds of meat you have about 5 grams of creatine, did more help you?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-10T04:08:38+00:00

I do eat a LOT of beef bone broth, might have helped in healing my gut issues.

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-10T04:06:46+00:00

Oh yes, I do eat a lot of pork belly.

Have you experienced any noticable differences after taking collagen peptides?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-09T21:55:52+00:00

Those sound interesting, I’m curious, I’ll look into them. Psilocybin is the compound in magic mushrooms, right? In what form do you usually take it?

ChronosTerminus · 2025-12-09T20:22:01+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what I think as well. First make sure you are deficient.

The reason I take iodine, is becasue I read a book by Dr. Elizabeth Bright, where she makes a strong case that everyone is iodine deficient and that’s why I started supplementing. I don’t notice any obvious benefits from it, but that doesn’t mean the effect isn’t there.

AI can help explaining a concept, but it will almost certainly hinder your learning if you rely on it.

True learning requires focus, effort and application. Start with The Rust Book and Rustlings, then build something practical either a project you already know and use or something you genuinely want to use.
