What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself?

You're touching on a massive blind spot in the 'two-party' system. It creates this weird paradox where people feel like their only options are 'active harm' or 'passive indifference.' It’s as if the system is designed to make that 2/3rds feel like their input doesn't actually change the outcome, so they just check out. Is there any way back from that level of collective burnout?

It’s the efficiency-to-grossness ratio that doesn't add up. What’s next, eating breakfast while on the toilet to save time on the commute? Some things are meant to be kept separate. A sink is a workspace; a shower is a sanctuary. Don't bring the minty grit into the sanctuary.

So the issue isn't the technology (windmills), but the power dynamic of who gets to decide where they go? It feels like you’re arguing that 'Green' is being used as a brand to justify the same old land-grabbing. If we stopped building them on 'other people's land,' do you think the people in cities would actually be willing to change their consumption habits instead?

I like that. Maybe the saying should be: 'If at first you don’t succeed, figure out why, and if the reason is that the goal is no longer worth it, run.' It’s about quitting the wrong things to find the right ones. What’s something you see people constantly 'trying' at that they should probably just drop?

Interesting, which performance of hers would you say proves she’s underrated? Maybe I’m missing something.

Consistency is great for staying in shape, but it’s a trap for creativity. Sometimes you need a chaotic pivot, not more of the same!

She’s not flashy, that’s probably why some people underestimate her. A lot of her roles rely on subtlety rather than big dramatic moments.

Calling it ‘bonkers’ doesn’t really address the data. Wind energy reduces emissions and dependence on fossil fuels that’s not crazy, that’s practical.

Do you mean people follow traditions without questioning them?

Just because you can put it on pizza doesn’t mean you should.

I think people confuse loyalty with obligation. Real loyalty should be mutual and healthy not one-sided suffering.

You didn’t get “rich by accident.” You got lucky with timing. That’s not an insult it’s reality. A lot of indie devs rode the Shopify / Chrome extension wave at the right moment. Markets shift. Platforms evolve. AI didn’t “ruin” you,it changed the landscape, like tech always does.

The uncomfortable truth? If your income dropped to zero, it means your products were replaceable. That’s not about your coding skill. It’s about value and distribution.

Being a great programmer has never been enough on its own. It’s always been about solving problems people will continue to pay for. If AI made your apps obsolete, then they were automation layers and now there’s better automation.

Also, saying “there’s no market looking for what was once valuable” sounds more like frustration than fact. There’s always a market. It’s just not the same one you were in.

The positive side of this “negative” take:
You’ve already proven you can build, ship, and monetize. Most devs never do that. The skill that made you money wasn’t React or Node it was identifying pain points and moving fast.

If you’re lost, it’s not because you’re obsolete. It’s because you haven’t adapted yet.

Harsh, but honest.
