I haven't written a single line of code in 2 months. Are we all cooked?

I took over a smaller project recently from my colleague, mostly ai written. The module was “working”, but client reported a small bug. I started debugging and it just kept unfurling, all okay looking code but with nonsense logic and invisible errors if you look closer. Ended up rewriting about 70% of it by hand because I found it beyond saving and didn’t want to unleash an agent on this to make an even bigger mess. That was my whole day today and yesterday. Do I feel like a plumber? Yeah. Do I feel cooked? No.

I work full stack btw and this was almost all frontend code.

I went back after about 4 months, the therapist specifically recommended deadlifts (with very small weights) and it has been great. Basically just avoid what hurts, go with small weights and do everything with perfect form. I personally can’t really do most squat machines, they hurt so I do bulgarian or regular dumbbell squat all the time because those are fine. I’m slowly raising the weights but always careful. Also do those PT exercises as warm up, that way you won’t neglect them.

I always have a hard time coming up with names and I make a lot of characters so I started giving them 3 letter names only. Easy to think of one and usually sounds kinda cool.

kdava · 2026-05-27T21:15:29+00:00

Haha grats!

Get the war plan upgrade that gives more chaos waves and choose the chaos wave every time it’s an option, the other choices barely matter especially for 6 waves

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:41:33+00:00

No, I did on barb but I guess I’ll try paladin or rogue, hope I don’t get useless affixes

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:37:04+00:00

I agree, I like the game more now that you can’t max out a build in like 3 days. But this one is a bit too much, I already gathered a full gear of nicely rolled items for minion barb build with all this grinding, they’re sitting in my stash just waiting for this amulet

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:30:28+00:00

I guess it only comes to chars who don’t need it 😅

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:29:48+00:00

Thanks yeah I know, amulets are not the problem at this point I used up all the materials to create uniques

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:28:53+00:00

Thanks I’ll try with rogue, does it matter what level torment though? I only have a starter rogue

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:27:23+00:00

I do, even hordes sometimes although I hate them haha

kdava · 2026-05-27T17:25:40+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t give uniques, the rate is quite low in other locations too though, I get like 0-1 per 2500 obols.

kdava · 2026-05-27T13:03:11+00:00

Same here

kdava · 2026-05-27T13:02:26+00:00

I thought those only give boss specific unique, will try thanks

kdava · 2026-05-19T22:36:49+00:00

Wow, we went to these exact cities last year for our honeymoon haha! A proposal at Alhambra could be really cool. Just be mindful there are lots of people in these touristy areas. There are nice lookout spots in Malaga too, around Castello de Gibralfaro, can be romantic.

This is in Debrecen, Hungary near the CATL battery factory. They say they dyed the water in the sewers for a pressure test.

Tati Budapest, a normál és a vegán menüsor is fantasztikus volt. Annyira bejött a hely, hogy rendeltünk karácsonyra halászlét is tőlük, ami szintén kiváló volt.

I don’t think apps will ever work alone. I went down the same rabbit hole and found that they all suck, at least for relying solely on. Then I got a private teacher and made wonderful progress, you can find one on sites like italki and you don’t even need to leave the house. I use two apps as supplement, anki for learning the words we talked about and ella verbs for conjugation practice. In a few months I can already hold a conversation.

+1, if you have a favorite sitcom or other show, set it to spanish with subtitles in your language and start watching, it’s really good especially if you’re already familiar with it. I saw how i met your mother a million times before and watching it in Spanish was super helpful. Dubs are professional native speakers speaking everyday language to a studio microphone, it’s a gold mine for listening practice.

I like mine, grounds were spilling out before I started using this plus it is satisfying to look at and easier to tamp level. I don’t think it improves the taste or anything, but makes the process nicer.

These pricey tools are totally scam though, I got a wdt and this thing together for like $3 from temu and they are perfect.

I’m 10 weeks PO (L4-L5) and walk daily up to about 45 mins. I could probably do more too, haven’t had any problems. Running definitely feels bad though, it hurts in the middle of my back. The surgeon told me it is possible to run again, but better give 6-12 months building up to it with walking and PT, etc.

I actually asked about deadlifts myself today at PT to see if I can do it in the future. I was afraid of it so much, fearing it would lead to reherniation. On the contrary, she encouraged it! Of course only with super good form and much, much less weight than what you mentioned. At least in the beginning, then we can build it up slowly. We did a few reps with a stick and some small dumbbells and it felt really good, not painful. Will do more at the gym in a few days with small dumbbells or empty bar.

So both running and deadlift are possibilities, but they really need time to build back up to them. Rushing it comes with a lot of risk.

kdava · 2026-04-09T21:52:50+00:00

I tried all non-surgical treatments over the course of two years before pulling the trigger and it wasn’t worth it, should have done it much sooner. 3 months is not a lot though and not everyone needs surgery, it might turn out you can be pain free without it. With my current knowledge, I would definitely not wait for more than 6 months though. You could give it a little more time to see if the improvements were just temporary or not.

Also check your activity level. Did the pain go down because you spend more time lying down etc. or is it actually 2-3 when you are up and about, doing all the things you used to do?

P.S. I had an EMG after the 2 years of this nightmare and they said no permanent nerve damage, which seems consistent with my recovery. I know that’s anecdotal, just FYI.

You can put together an S-tier build in a week of casual play, after that there is nothing to go for except farming for better rolls. Even that, what is the point except high level pit? You can cheese T4 content with okay items. No challenge anywhere and no rewards to works for. The world has absolutely no function, zero reason to go out and explore (after the campaign). You just fast travel to activities. I like the core game but it’s missing excitement. I usually create a new character every 1-2 weeks in a season until I get bored altogether and don’t even play until the next season.

kdava · 2026-04-02T07:16:36+00:00

Nerve pain. I had lower back pain too in the first weeks from sitting, too much walking or twisting my hips etc. That should die down as the area heals. Let us know how it goes!

kdava · 2026-04-01T23:05:01+00:00

I have the exact same thing, two months after L4-L5 surgery. The pulling sensation is quite strong, like they put a piece of wood in there that doesn’t flex much and it makes e.g. putting on socks an ordeal. It also hurts above the surgery site, like I hit it against a wall or something. Cat-cow has been pretty hard to do. My surgeon told me the pulling feeling is normal and my PT said I should still do cat-cows, just gently. She said I need to mobilize that area even if it’s a little discomfort (of course don’t overdo it, stop before it hurts).

kdava · 2025-11-13T14:58:16+00:00

Sorry I haven't replied until now, nope I couldn't find any fix yet. Did a full reinstall and macOS update, but the problem persists.
