Burnout happens when you're forced to work without motivation. For me (same age as you), two kids and a "life" often soak up most of the motivation. I look at challenging problems in a different way: time travel. When I get f

It seems like any decent plot succumbs to soap opera writing. e.g. Raised by Wolves season 2. I thought the SCC was a lot of fun for about 6 hours. Then it waned… Sometimes I’ll see a different “written by” on sci-fi credits and think “ahh,

I half heartedly believe that the point of college is to learn how to cope with feeling stupid. You must learn that learning is uncomfortable. The pattern of reinforcement is similar to exercise. New abilities increase motivation. You see i

I’m not a AR/VR bull but I think Apple’s position is extremely underestimated. It’s almost like every Apple product has been developed and refined for the future AR/VR moment. Custom silicon. Fast camera HDR. LiDAR. People/sc

I read “Deep Survival” a few years ago pre-pandemic and was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t a book of survival stories. The main takeaway for me was that sure, nature doesn’t care if you live or die, yet surviving in modern life is an illusi

Thanks! Just think, my voice is just one call away… so long as I’m not changing a diaper or cooking dinner.

I handle 100% of my indie app's email and telephone (yes, telephone!) support. My app is designing/printing labels. Printers in general, and label printers specifically are awful and inconsiderate robots, unable to perform the sim

I ignore macOS updates as a self preservation technique until something forces my hand such as buying a new computer or Xcode complaining it only runs on a particular release. Between macOS, cpu architecture changes, and the fast pace of El

Life couldn’t be sweet without the sour. I like to think that work life balance like this is self reinforcing. Happy holidays!

Re: Any professional athlete is probably a terrible role model for healthy lifestyle. This reminded me of a pro cyclist write-up where they regretted the absence of oral hygiene… years of glucose gel being squirted into their mouths at inte

I deeply want to understand and solve this problem. I’m an indie dev that created a desktop app (electron) to design and print labels. I sell a one-time license for $147 but also a subscription for $14.99/month. About 20% of my revenue

Knowing about AWS was just a shortcut where steps were skipped because of prior knowledge. The user could have been more naive and asked more leading questions about “how do I write a program for the internet?” Or “what is cloud software?”

I know this is FF… but could this kind of tech exist in the chromium instance of an electron app? If so, that’d sure be a nice alternative to me having to go about translating it “the hard way.” Fwiw, my electron app is React-based.

Too much or too little energy when baking (burned or raw in the middle), too much or little water (hydration), too much or too little rise time (loaf density). Just off the top of my head.

The things I’m drawn to in life is where art meets science. In hindsight, so much of the secret is knowing how to avoid failure. Baking bread? Build the intuition over time and you’ll realize baking is forgiving so long as you don’t do thes

In my early 20s I was a Linux sysadmin contractor in the Midwest US and got dropped into a job site where the core team was being offshored. I had to quickly learn how to maintain HPUX, AIX and some Solaris boxes using docs in the form of w

I just bought 24x 6” stainless steel rulers because every time I’d reach for one it’d be across the room at a different desk. Now I can capture a dozen at a time in their remote location for rehoming. Problem solved. Also on my list of buy

There’s an entire philosophy behind any anti-piracy strategy. For me, it’s about adding enough obfuscation to make it challenging for a pirate while simultaneously keeping the price low enough so that cracking isn’t a juicy target. Most use

Years ago, I thought that 3D printing would be an interesting hobby … until I realized that the frustration was aligned with my software dev day job frustrations. The lathe, the chisel, the saw - crucially the opposite of additive manufactu

I admire this comment in the many dimensions it was intended. Likewise, I heat the home office with the burning cycles of an intel Mac constantly compiling an electron app.

As a solo developer I don’t have much non-obvious stuff to add, but I will say handling 100% email and phone(!) support for my business-focused electron app makes me relentlessly write guides/FAQs and polish UX. I’m guessing I’ve reduc
