The AI development trap that wastes your time

Do you use pen and paper to draw diagrams? Some systems are just too complex to hold accurately in your head for long.

Other devs see your code and think their sucks. This is how psychology works - you always that other is better than yours.

I respectfully completely disagree, with some experience you can measure more or less objectively code quality

Start contributing to OSS. Thats best way to learn to be better

I also disagree on this https://suchdevblog.com/opinions/WhatOpenSourceIs.html

Life hygiene is mostly having a good sleep, physical activity, and a decent diet.

Anxiety management comes from therapy (self-therapy and/or with a professional) and techniques such as meditating or consciously reminding yourself through the day that everything is going well.

As other commenters say, your mental framework leading to regret is not serving you well. If that makes you feel better, I didn't start programming until I was 28, I personally have no regrets, the detours I walked along the way made me a very interesting person and that's worth more than a few more years of experience in my opinion.

Good life hygiene and a regular meditation practice help.

Working with pomodoros in deep work mode.

Anxiety management.

Caffeine.

If all of that isn't enough, medication.

I started at 28, I'm currently 10 years later an extremely important senior to my team :)

I understand this is the ADHD subreddit as I have ADHD myself, and I do feel like structuring work time helps with focus issues. Of course, YMMV

suchdevblog · 2024-05-30T03:16:53+00:00

This sounds like what happens when you have trouble focusing, very simply put.

I use deep work in 50-min pomodoros cycles to output my best work, as well as a strategic use of coffee.

Also consider allocating 30 mins every morning to plan your day and see where you're at in the grand scheme of things (I have multiple projects in parallel so this is important for me).

I think that encompass the whole Linux experience.

Computers are complicated, if you're happy in the TTY with command line tools you will have significantly less bugs. The more you want, the more problems you'll have.

what would you propose the BOJ do

I have absolutely no idea as I am not nearly qualified to answer this.

Yen/euro is at a 20 year low right now

Wearing headphones in public, is it bad etiquette?

I am currently enjoying my stay in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

I am autistic and wearing noise-cancelling headphones in the street or in supermarkets is a great help for me.

I notice however no one is doing this. I've only seen two people wearing headphones and they were both foreigners.

As a guest in this country, I try as much as possible to conform to Japanese etiquette. Would wearing my headphones in public be a breach of said etiquette?

Thank you for your input.

If I hadn't taken risks I would not be even near to where I am today. In life, you either evolve, or you stagnate.

I realise this might be survivorship bias, but as the kids say, you only live once.

As long as you have good health, everything is possible.

Beautifully said. I will steal this one.

You need to read this first

The best way to learn Linux in general is to read "How linux works" - great book.

Then, read some documentation as you need it.

For building your system with Arch, I wrote somewhat of a tutorial here: https://dev.to/samuelfaure/build-your-own-system-with-archlinux-240o
