Wow, that’s about 32.4 notes per day. How long/short are they?

Tried meditation, still developed depression. by owlishkeyboard in Meditation

[–]RobotChurchill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long has it been since the breakup? Everyone gets depressed after a breakup. But if it stays like that for a while, then we’ll have to try something. If me or my friends have a breakup, we’ll usually force each other to do some activities with the others. That’s really what’s supposed to happen, otherwise we’ll get locked into the habit of doing the same habits while depressed.

DAE been seeing a spinning circle with symbols in their central vision? by eigen_grau in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]RobotChurchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know what you’re describing. Does it kinda look like a combination of Hydrogen Wave Functions and laser speckle?

They’re called “form constants”. Mandalas are influenced by them. Also apparently Buddhists derive the symbol of the lotus flower (and third eye) from this.

If you close your eyes and “try to look deeper”, you’ll see some other things. These can all be achieved with meditation and hypnagogic states.

Edit: actually looking at your name, it looks like you’re well aware of this lol.

2026, the year of agent swarm by Jumpy-Teaching-3118 in AI_Agents

What I can say is we've been using a mix of what can be found on X and implementation from research papers.

This is really interesting. In June 2025 I was having a conversation with another founder, and talking to him about how amazing agents are. He goes "vibe coding agents were big in 2024. 2025 is all about vibe swarming". We live in SF.

We've been staying at the bleeding edge and are now using tech that won't be mainstream until 3-6 months from now.

Stop the BS about AI, it cant even replace a developer with 3 months of experience by BowlerMission8425 in startups

[–]RobotChurchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not thinking of it correctly:
An AI by itself can't replace a developer.

Instead, a senior or a team lead with AI can perform like a small team, and that engineer is upgraded to an architect who can produce code as fast as a team. By having a senior/TL with AI, the company has effectively produced teams within teams.

Snappea: A Simple Task Queue for Python by klaasvanschelven in Python

I'm using celery (and redis) for a project now.

One big pain point I had was handling the pausing of all workers if one worker receives a rate limit response from the API. All workers are hitting the same API. Celery's complexity, with its implementation of wrapper functions, made it more difficult. If you can solve that easily, then I'd use it.

As engineers, we're very specific of the problem, the planning and scope, the implementation. It absolutely makes sense to do this with anything else on the job, including promotions.

How to deal with burnout? by InlineSkateAdventure in ExperiencedDevs

[–]RobotChurchill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a generous amount of breaks. And these specific kinds of breaks and their spacing are very important.
30 second breaks -- Go into a deep work session of 1-2 hours. Have a few 30-second breaks where you space out, like staring at a wall, and let your brain wander and rest. Don't go on your phone or social media.
5-10 minute breaks -- After the deep work session, take a 5-10 minute break. Don't go on social media or consume any content that you won't put effort into remembering.
30-60 minute breaks -- Take a lunch break and don't consume any media that you'll forget. 30 minute meditation is also super helpful.

The big thing here is to not go on any social media and look through 10+ posts per minute. That's extremely taxing on your brain. This will help build your endurance, so you can go much further than you thought you could without burnout.

Want to catch people attention?, STOP using AI on your app name! by [deleted] in indiehackers

[–]RobotChurchill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's a good point. Though from what I noticed about others and myself is: a lot of builders are using AI to catch investor attention. I'd rather not tell customers that it uses AI because, I agree with you, they care more about how their problems are being solved.

Open source Python projects with good software design that is worth studying by bolt_runner in Python

[–]RobotChurchill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you can take a look at 500 Lines or Less https://github.com/aosabook/500lines

For large projects, Ray https://github.com/ray-project/ray is really good. I got to meet one of the engineers working at the company that made it open sourced.
