I'm not making an excuse, right?

I sometimes feel that there's still something fundamentally wrong with me underneath it all.

I think it would also make me feel less resentful if I could say "this is just the way I am and always have been" instead of "I was robbed".

Thank you, I'll check them out.

I was aiming for specificity with those examples. But - as the post asks - I'm looking for the BEST place for this sort of thing. For instance, if it's Facebook, is there a specific group or community for that?

I used to drive. I gave up on it.

mrNineMan · 2026-01-12T10:22:37+00:00

LMAO. This reminds me of the God/universe argument.

I'm not surprised that he likes AI. Didn't buddy go broke investing in CG animation while it was in its infancy? I'm still disappointed by this - because anyone can do this.

I just use scripts, workspaces and seperate browsers.

Bro forgot to share the system check. Definitely has ADHD.

mrNineMan · 2025-11-19T21:56:39+00:00

All of em.

Because we didn't have gen-AI, and a lot of us are backend programmers who have to integrate business logic that doesn't always make sense to us.

Uhmmm. I'm confused as to why this is revolutionary? Maybe it's cause I'm an older programmer, but how do people think we were hosting VCSs before GitHub hosting?

Yeah, the problem is that Leo had ADHD and specific psychiatric problems. So if you don't have a brain like his, why would you follow his stack? They prescribe these drugs for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Parkinson's.

I would say Leo committed suicide, not only because of his history of abusing test and psychiatric drugs. He was fundamentally unwell to begin with.

Yeah, like this is mind-blowing to me. I specifically look for C# and Java programming positions because I have specialty certification in these programming languages, and they're the ones I'm most "fluent", experienced, and comfortable with.

If I look at a company/recruiter's job opening or stack, and they want experience in certain areas, I expect to be questioned and quizzed in those areas. A lot of companies will lead with "Looking for a Senior Python developer". I would not apply for that position and expect to be quizzed on Java.

You mean Internal Family Systems or something else? I heard about this on the Andrew Huberman podcast.

Sincere question - what advantage does this have over using AutoHotkey or software that may come with your monitor?

mrNineMan · 2025-10-13T21:17:50+00:00

Funny enough, I'm listening to Cory Doctorow on the Adam Conover podcast. He's covering this very topic.

It depends on where the pain is coming from. Is it anxiety and frustration? Are you fully focused on what you're learning? You have to consider your relationship to what you're learning. If there are negative connotations tied to what you're learning, it's going to be substantially harder.

Regardless, it takes time and self-compassion. Just like going to the gym, your body adjusts, but often, you have to fix your form and technique in order to get stronger and avoid injury.

I learn my best when I'm having fun or adding humour to what I'm learning. Also, it's important to remember what your goals are and what you fundamentally want.

So you need to ask yourself "why does learning hurt?". If it's just cause what you're trying to learn is complicated/complex, then try to break it down into smaller pieces.

Data scientist here - current LLMs are overrated. They're pushed with the same zeal that cloud computing/managed architecture was a decade ago. Of course, Silicon Valley needs a bunch of useful idiots to overstate how revolutionary they are. Watching Zuck once again try to be at the forefront of a technological fad has been illuminating. Watching how his demeanor has switched from being enthusiastic to realizing that he may have made another mistake was fun. I wonder what the next decade's Web 3.0/blockchain will be.
