Another round of the quarterly fun-fest that is "Where are those f**king receipts?"

Looking at the list of things that I don't know (and hence want to learn) and now I'm swimming in vertigo.

I _cannot_ retain _any_ information anymore. I don't _learn_ anything. If anything, I've developed the ability to find a piece of information that will help me _right now_. I can't recall anything. It's frustrating and I hate it.

There are days when the keyboard just feels like a couple of bricks cemented to a plank. Feels like I've never used it before. All flow gone. Fingers simply not finding the right keys. This feeling is fixed by smashing the keyboard against the wall. Repeatedly. Violently. Expensive solution.

I've been a professional programmer for 25 years. This year, I hope to learn how to program properly.

I've just switch my display setting in MacOS all the way to 'Larger Text'. It means I'm old, but I'm happy.

You need a hand?
Sure, take mine.
You’re not strong enough?
It’s OK, neither am I.
But we are.

we're all doing the best we can, except for me, I'm absolutely phoning it in

@d3z Running VaultWarden has been great - if you need/want a password manager, it's really good and works flawlessly (as far as I can tell) with Bitwarden clients. I run Nextcloud too, and it's handy (but slow on a Pi). Haven't felt the need to run other services (or haven't found good enough services to run). Yet.

I'm working on an actual real-life project using Jetpack Compose. So far, I think I hate it. But that's just an old man yelling at the sky. No need to 'at' me.

If I wasn't so lazy (and cared more) I should probably just setup my own instance. But none of the above prerequisites have been met.

I've just read a post from someone asking for pointer on what stack to use for his final project at university. Reading the comments made me realise the state this industry is actually in. How are young folks meant to navigate the shitstorm we've created?!?

I'm bored and too bored to do anything about it.

Bought some clothes today for the first time in a while. My one takeaway from the experience? Jaysus I'm fat. How did that happen?

I just want to shutdown my computer and play boardgames ... for the rest of my life.

Back to lurking on nitech.online then :)
