I fantasize about taking 6 months off before starting my next job and being a barista for a while. My guess is I'd appreciate my current situation a lot more :D

I'm a couple of years older but I felt very directionless around your same age. I don't know if it's similar to what you are feeling but I'll share my experience in case it helps. One thing that helped me was to schedul

I'm going to switch to fastmail. Purelymail looks appealing but it seems less established. I may try it for my non-main e-mail. One thing I am not sure about is the fact that I also relied on using oauth with my custom domain through

README is the only universal thing that can be counted on across languages / toolchains / frameworks / whatever. I try to script as much as possible but if I don't put a pointer to it in the README, my future self will

I visited Paris for a few weeks a couple of years ago. The way I did it, I had a rough schedule that was my fallback for the day. In the morning I'd usually hit one thing but otherwise spent my time mostly wandering around. Didn&#x27

I had a similar feeling at my last job: I'm building software no one uses :( I made sure to probe about related details when I was looking for my next (current) job. I found a company with a strong customer relationship, existing prod
