TrayKnots586141d@retoor I am allowed to have my hobbies. But most of my hobbies are coding related. And so is gaming. Made me a lot better in reverse engineering.

TrayKnots586141d@Lensflare That's what I told my wife. Right after telling her that we will never know if she develops super powers if we don't drop her in a vat filled with radio active waste.
Long story short, the sofa is surprisingly comfy. -

Joking aside. Having coding as a hobby has its downsides. I relax by coding. I sit down, start a movie I have seen a thousand times and start a coding session. Recently I noticed that I try to avoid to focus while coding. I choose problems I am comfortable with and actually watch the movie.
That would be bad enough on hobby projects, but I noticed I postpone every work project until a frantic end deadline and drop hobby project after the boilerplate.
Well, no movie while coding rule fixed my brain within a week. But it was insidious how that vice snuck in. I suddenly had it and realized I had it for a while. -

I agree that in most cases refactoring or code quality is a waste of time. -
jestdotty5971141d@Demolishun what's worse than a baby stapled to a tree? a baby stapled to ten trees
this is the only joke that lives in my head -
jestdotty5971141d@TrayKnots music makes me code better
had a co worker comment on it. he said he can't focus if he has music playing and has no idea how I do it. ADHD brains apparently focus easier if there's noise
also helps my emotions are amused by music. I don't use any coding part of my brain for music I guess. so I just feel good and motivated from the music -

It's always a good idea to have backups in case of fatal errors && such ;-) . -
Lensflare18872141d@Demolishun I wasn‘t comfortable making this joke and I tried to make it vague enough that you could interpret it in different and less disturbing ways :)
I guess part of me wanted to see the reactions from different people. Got some surprising results :) -
TrayKnots586135dSo, my shoulder buttons arrived. And they work great. I like that they are a different color. It is a little like Kintsugi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...)
I am waiting for shoulder buttons for my xbox controller to be delivered from China. Need to wait another week, approximately.
I really need to repair my 3d printer. But even if I did, where to put it. My wife wouldn't be amused if the baby breathes its vapors... Well, need to find a bigger place, I guess.
So, I need to buy a house, so that I can repair my 3d printer, so I can avoid a 2 weeks wait on a replacement part from China.
