Looking back at my post and comment history, and damn, it feels like someone hacked my account and wrote random posts and comments. I disagree with half of the stuff I wrote 2 years ago.

<neofetch> has acquired a <Unwashed Hoodie>.
<neofetch>'s <Dev Skill> has gone up by <1>!

That moment when your *new* blue light filtering *glasses* are actually cheap plastic and has permanent smudges on it.

Don't be cheap on eyewear, guys.

"But using XYX is better and it's not hard to set up!"
No, fuck you and your recommendations.

It's too time consuming to set up that blazing-fast minimalistic modular shit, because I know I'll want to configure it to perfection until I bang my head against my tiny keyboard when I have finally realised that all the config I went througu only achieved the same outcome as the 'bloated' software I was originally using.

So, fuck you.
I'd rather get on with my life and get some work done.

It's not like I wasn't aware of XYZ in the first place; I'm not using it because I know what's more important to get my shit done.

Is it just me or does 16GB RAM feel like overkill on Linux?
I've only seen the RAM usage go up to 6GB at most.

Kinda wish I could just take that 8GB card and stick it into my desktop.

When did you scrap your project and start over, and why?

I'm working on a second project at my company.

But as the project got longer and initially unplanned features started to pile up, the software has become a total mess and a pile of conversion layers for all sorts of I/O.

I'm starting to believe that it'd be better to learn from our mistakes and start over with a better plan, if it means we'll be able to achieve performance and stability improvements.

So, what was it like scrapping your project and starting over?

I think it involves a great amount of determination and time management skills.

I've learnt to manage my time wisely. I pretty much run my whole life on a bullet journal, it works for me.

I might wanna make a bullet journal app one day so that I can finally be happy with a digital bullet journal without excessive features.

And to all out there working on a side project right now, good luck..!

Nerf this!

this construction behind my office is crazy. it's shaking the building i'm in.

guess i'll work from a cafe today.

windows update bricked my touchpad.
rebooting bricked my keyboards.
reinstalling windows fixed my keyboards but not my touchpad.

this has been going for a week now.
i'm moving back to linux. maybe i'll try arch this time around.

fuck you microsoft.

ps: my touchpad seems to be permanently bricked.

"yes, a university degree isn't necessary to become successful, but that doesn't mean you can waste your time playing games or watching youtube for half a day.

stop complaining about the system and get your ass to work. do something, anything. stop fucking around with your life."

...is what i told a friend and he hasn't messaged me for 2 weeks. i see him on discord all the time, playing runescape or some shit.

i'm 24 and he's 22. he dropped out because he was too lazy to go to uni every 2 days.

Getting the word out about your new shiny app:
Posting in relevant communities > Throwing money at Google Ads

Google Ads isn't even using up half of my daily budget lmao

Do ergonomic keyboards and mice help?

Yesterday I went through 6 hour maintenance without a break which involved a lot of typing and clicking.... (Because shit never works properly on live server, right?)
And now my right shoulder through my wrist feels numb.

I'm thinking maybe it's time to give up on 'gaming' rigs...
What are your thoughts?
Or should I just stretch more often?

I don't wanna sleep because waking up sucks.
Ugh, why are humans so inefficient?

Do you take naps?
I usually take a 20~30 minute nap at around 3 p.m.

What's so wrong with having no name for my position?
I mean, it's only me in this startup.
I AM THE STARTUP, DAMMIT.

Do I really have to start calling myself a CEO just to appear trustworthy?
But how does one become a Chief if there's nobody to supervise?

Hustler? Rockstar? Too 'startup'ish and just sad.
Entrepreneur? Founder? Sounds like something a scammer would use.

I'll just stick to leaving my position blank on my business card, thank you.

I see ads on marketing tools every fucking where.
Do I look stupid to you, Facebook and Google?
I don't fucking need them.
Who needs those stupid products anyway?

I even saw a reskinned XAMPP being marketed as 'local testing for your WordPress website', like what the actual fuck? Isn't that fucking scamming?
Oh, right. They were targeting WordPress monkies. Oh.

Anyway, please show me some more keyboards instead.
I've been in keyboard market for like 2 weeks you know.

Holy fuck.

I'm relatively new to the whole development and stuff, so I have no idea how usual process goes.

So when my project moved onto closed beta, I thought I could rest a bit.

NOPE.

Apparently half the shit I've done sucks so much and I need to debug the shit out of it.

Bless the testers.

Funny how people freak out when I offer free stuff (in exchange for feedback) as I introduce myself as the CEO.
But when I tell them that I'm a developer, they all accept it without a single doubt.

Since I'm doing both, I can call myself whatever, but this just shows how little trust people have towards management of ANY company. So I can't really blame them.

CEOs, please stop being fucking greedy and do something that can change the life of at least one person in a positive way.

My vision for this startup is to produce as many opportunities for people so that they can feed their family and have a place to call home.

Edit: I've seen this one CEO buy an expensive car on company lease when he received an investment. Guess what his employee told me next. I fucking LOL'd.

What field do you guys work in?
Do you feel like you're making a difference?

I work in language sector, where my job (as a one man startup) is to help people overcome language barriers using various tools I make for them.

I'm happy with where I'm going, but I'm concerned about my future as I'm not making enough money :/

Anyway, I wanna hear your stories!

My new microphone arrived.
I used to own Razer Seiren, but it died few weeks ago.
Now this cheap 60 dollar mic bundle's sound quality is on par with that Razer Seiren.

It just lacks all the functional buttons and knobs, and of course, a switch for illuminating logo.

Does anyone stream or run a YouTube channel here?
If so, what kind of content?

PS: Please, no links.

Random tip of the day.
Putting salt on your food will usually help it taste less bland.

I have a 6 month license on PyCharm Professional Edition.
I don't think I'll be learning Python anytime soon, so if anyone wants to use it, go ahead and redeem it.

PS: Would be nice if you could comment that you used it, so that other people know that it's gone.

I get so high on the feeling of relief when I find out that a problem with my program could be solved so easily.

Right now I am high.

Do you 'draft' your code?

I'm just really curious, as I'm not a developer; but I've been doing dev work for the last 8 months...

I just realised today, that 'drafting' my code on paper makes my workflow 10^10 times better and intuitive.
Like, just writing a rough code block with what function I'm going to use and how I'm going to form an equation, etc...

Or do you guys just jump straight ahead and start pushing out code?

I hate two things:
1. People who hate other languages for no reason,
2. and PHP.
/s

planned a project,
spent a whole day on a feature.

3 weeks later, i realise that feature i spent a whole day on wasn't needed at all.

i'm a fucking noob ape trying to pretend it's a developer or some shit.

lol at that 'reviewer' who reviewed my product/service without even using it.

I forgot to push my commits before turning off the pc...
