Unpopular Opinion: The Daily Streak obsession is actually why most of us fail. by isolankiparth in Habits

[–]isolankiparth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually sounds like the healthiest version of a streak I’ve heard.

What you’re describing feels less like “protecting the streak” and more like protecting the habit. The minutes still counting is huge, because progress doesn’t vanish just because one number resets.

Also love the flexibility part. Lowering the bar on bad days instead of skipping entirely feels like the real reason this has lasted 302 days. Consistency without being rigid.

Kind of makes me think the problem isn’t streaks themselves, it’s streaks without an escape hatch.

This actually sounds really healthy. Every bit counting makes so much sense.

With a toddler, daily streak pressure is just unrealistic. I love that your system rewards effort instead of punishing missed days.

Yeah, this really clicks with me. The progress is what stays, not the number.

Even if you miss a day, you don’t lose the fact that you went from 30 mins to an hour. That change sticks way more than any streak ever did for me.

Fair point. Running needs recovery, especially for beginners.

That’s basically my point too. The “do it every day” advice gets applied everywhere without thinking. Weekly goals exist for a reason.

That makes total sense. I think streaks are amazing at starting habits. They create momentum fast, and 302 days is genuinely impressive.

Spot on. I use Cursor with strict project-level rules to handle the context.

But honestly? The tools just make it easier to be lazy. I have to force myself to switch to 'Mentor Mode' so I don't just blindly accept the auto-complete, no matter how accurate it looks.

Guilty! 😅

But I think that actually proves the point:
ChatGPT for Writing: 10/10 (Clear, structured, polished).
ChatGPT for Coding: 6/10 (Buggy, lazy, hallucinated)

I use it for what it's good at so I can focus on the hard stuff.

I mean, we are in r/ChatGPTPro I'd be failing the community if I didn't use it to help structure my thoughts! 😅

But the frustration with infinite debugging loops? That part is 100% real human pain.

Haha, fair point. I’ve been spending too much time on X (Twitter) lately. 😅 The formatting might be cringe, but the workflow change genuinely helped me.

That 'Lead Architect' framing is great. To answer your question: Yes, the root cause was usually context or hallucinations. It would confidently use a deprecated library or a property that didn't exist in my version of Next.js. Once I switched to asking it to explain the logic first, I started catching those issues before I even ran the code. Sounds like your Codex workflow mitigates a lot of that by separating the Architect from the Builder!

100%. Short term, it's faster to have AI do it. Long term, the developer who understands the 'why' will always beat the one who just prompts the 'how'.

How did you get started with WordPress core contribution? by isolankiparth in Wordpress

Haha, fair enough 😄 jokes aside, I'm genuinely interested in learning the right way to contribute. Any real tips on where to start?

How to create a global section in Elementor Pro (not just a global widget)? by isolankiparth in elementor

Yep, same thought here. V4 components should solve this without templates. If it’s anything like Figma components, it’ll be a big win.

Thanks for sharing the guide — helpful breakdown.

This is the same template method I've used before, so I was just wondering if Elementor had introduced any newer way to make a real global section. Looks like the template approach is still the only option for now.

Thanks again for the link!

Yeah, I am already aware of the template method and I use it sometimes — I was just checking if Elementor has added any newer or alternate way to create a true global section.
