Working on my psychological issues. I was too much of a perfectionist and had anger issues, now I can just let go and have fun writing code instead of worrying, that's how I got better.

Modern tools are good, but the culture around it is pretty toxic, and in my own opinion, cringy. 10 years ago you would get booed for saying things like "Unused RAM is wasted ram, so let's build this in Electron". I am happy

>through security issues I did not really care back then, even happy as a teenager that I was able to use a root exploit to get root on our high school's computers. It's something that you become curious about in your 20s >A

We always had the goodies, developed by the open source community. GIMP is easier to my hand than Photoshop in a lot of uses. The encroaching of the subscription model into Linux is not something acceptable to me though.

It's simple, quit web development and slide into other niches. I found mine in blockchain and smart contract development. Now I find myself solving interesting problems rather than trying to make 1000 frameworks and libraries work.

This tells me that you misunderstood Satoshi's motivations completely, filling in your own ones instead. His goal was to create uncontrollable and indestructible money, not "save the world" or create "morally just money

So when is the JetBrains operating system coming through? I will switch to it if it's as feature-full as other JetBrains products.

Restless leg shaking, pacing back and forth, reading this place, and trying small code snippets on various online sandboxes on things I am curious about.

The Linux kernel is as good as it gets, in my opinion. Desktop Linux is another story though. On one end, you have GNOME devs who try to imitate macOS without the UX design knowledge and taste, and KDE that is buggy and crashes a lot. If th

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. If you don't like it that our company allows freely talking about anything, you can leave to find a coddling safe space you are seeking.

I have long suspected that Twitter (or people at Twitter) are colluding with the crypto scammers for a payout.
