It took me a long time to figure what makes me happy, and it took six ketamine trips to figure this out. It's important to detach from the outcome and just embrace the day. Stop thinking about long term plans and goals, and just wake up and make. Wake and make. This works for me because at my core, I'm a artistic coder. I love to code for the sake of coding. I find these machines beautiful works of arts, and the way of code speaks to me. So, what am I doing about it? I'm building a cathedral. I'm taking all experience, all my wisdom, decades of side projects, and I'm building a new platform. The ultimate platform. A glorious platform that I named after a goat which I named after a character from battlestar galatica. I wrote a bit about this here: https://www.adama-platform.com/2022/07/02/the-path-of-the-monastic-code-machine.html https://www.adama-platform.com/2022/07/02/the-path-of-the-mo... Optimizing for happiness requires discovering a repeatable behavior that sparks joy. For whatever reason, working on a programming language to drive a new type of platform sparks joy. Sometime, I'll make a game with my platform, but I'm not anxious of even worried. I just show up and polish things here and there. Just today, I spent a few hours ensuring that document events, message handlers, constructor all have access to @context variable. I'm working on this right now, running my test suites with ridiculous code coverage (99%) over thousands of tests. It's great. I have no expectation of financial return, and I'm grateful to be retired. I sucked shit through a straw in big tech, and it was worth it to get to this point. Now, I can commune with the machine, and work on my physical health.
