Garden feels the most resonant out of these three & I think it’s because I’m inspired by the act of gardening AND it is a meaningful “project”. Gaming & skiing are both wonderful+joyful activities but they feel less meaning-giving to me since they aren’t really creating something

Coding is cool, lifting is cool, hiking is cool, & I do often enjoy them in the moment, but my main drivers are mostly finish project/get better job/get stronger/summit mountain. Maybe I should start gaming more. Ski season is coming up. I wish I had a garden to putter around in

Had a weird slow motion crash out the other afternoon and a big thing surfaced for me: I feel a big lack of things in my life where I’m inspired to do the thing itself rather than just the goal that doing that thing achieves.

So so funny to me how almost every single Subaru I see driving around makes That One Noise

Got into dnd mtg Elden ring and factorio all in the past week wish me luck

hanging with my trans friend later tonight and showing her factorio, slightly concerned i may be about to ruin her life

twitter but the followers of every account get a percentage of the account's monetization proportional to how early they followed them

How do all you devs out there balance using ai to make stuff quickly&effectively with progressing Ur coding skills? Or is the thought basically that programming chops are irrelevant now (beyond some baseline) & one should just let ai handle that, & focus on system design stuff?

Happy fall, time to break out the cinnazyn and Vince Guaraldi

Day 1 of trying Jhana yesterday. Watched an intro video then sat for 16min focusing on hands. They felt really warm &fuzzy&good & got some waves of warmth into my body, but that was the extent of the short session. Is there a preference for initial focus on body vs metta/breath?

- 1yr exp managing logistics/shipping for supplement startup - not a coding wizard but ok technical skills (personal site on aws, http proxy project, some lil web dev stuff and other random projs), halfway through aws saa cert - generally connect well w people - smart? (1500 sat)

Need to get a job that pays better than $20/hr asap (ideally one in IT/swe) and trying to gauge how cooked I am, would really appreciate any feedback (or pointers on getting less cooked): - 2 sems left in cs degree - 2yrs experience doing helpdesk/sysadmin (pt student employee)

This is inspired by listening to some podcasts and stuff about fractal bootcamp, and some people who treated it as an “agency rehab” program, to seemingly great success, even though it isn’t explicitly marketed as such

But it’s unfair to expect ppl trying to move through low-agency to do so in an agentic way. Lots of ppl out there who are drifting post burnout/depression unsure if they can still do hard things, or how to operate more creatively. Right program+environment could help them a lot

I think there probably a pretty big market out there for “rehabbing agency” services/courses. Which is slightly funny & ironic to me because “sign up for my program to regain agency” has a pretty low-agency ring to it.

I would actually like an ai wearable that just keeps a basic log of where I go and the actions+activities I do. Mostly so that I could ask it where my one pair of pants that mysteriously disappeared went

Life is worth living !

I truly think getting a 97 Tacoma and old land cruiser and having a garage to work on them in would fix me

Just realized that one of the really compelling things about talking to llms for me is having the time to really think things through and compose my messages precisely, and then get an immediate response (rather than waiting for another human to take the time to do the same)

Can’t believe they started charging an admission fee to the circus…. I can only afford to go a few times a year now…. And the bread isnt even good anymore…
