I am not really in IT either, although for a few years I worked for a software company (as customer support, not programming or engineering). I've only ever posted 2 things here, and they were things I was sharing, not my own writing: https://web.archive.org/web/20230212152245/https://www.gigablast.com/blog.html https://web.archive.org/web/20230212152245/https://www.gigab... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfkem5e5Iqg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfkem5e5Iqg (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=EchoReflection https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=EchoReflection) In 2013 I was in a very serious motorcycle accident (coma for 1 month, 2 broken legs, broken hip, broken left arm, several broken ribs, collapsed lung, multiple skull fractures, inner ear bones damaged on both sides. My brain damage was such that my short-term memory was basically zero for a long time, as well as damaged nerves that control vision. The road to recovery was/is long, I still have what are referred to in the medical world as "sequelae", which just means "ongoing effects or symptoms", but, long-story-short, I really, really, really believe that we can all improve our lives and our brains if we A: want to, and B: try. I highly, highly recommend the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/atomic-habits-an-easy--proven-way-to-build-good-habits--break-bad-ones_james-clear/19493521/all-editions/?resultid=9a50f0b4-faf8-4924-971a-19c879f314f6 https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/atomic-habits-an-easy--proven-...

And Jordan Peterson's books "Maps of Meaning" and "12 Rules for Life" were pretty life-changing. Jordan Peterson has a LOT of really helpful content on YouTube (a lot of people don't like him bc I guess he's kind of "conservative", but I think it's more the case that he thinks postmodernism and "wokism" are detrimental to a healthy society. https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBPeterson https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBPeterson Andrew Huberman has a lot of great, helpful videos as well. https://www.youtube.com/@hubermanlab https://www.youtube.com/@hubermanlab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequela Good luck on your journey.
