@Decathlon please stop working with @shadowfax_in. Possibly one of the worst delivery companies. @shadowfax_in your delivery partners are unreachable and put in false updates. Your customer support sucks too. @abheshekbansal, what went wrong?

Wow @glovo. The store adds additional items to my order that I get charged for and you tell me it’s company policy to not do anything about it? This has to be a joke. And it definitely isn’t “fair���. @deliveryherocom #deliveryhero

Just finished this book - Bad Therapy by @AbigailShrier

This is one of the most eye-opening books I've ever read. It's a must read for any parent, any teacher, and should be required reading for any school administrator as well.

The book dives into trying to figure out why kids are having so many mental health problems, when there are so many resources devoted to improving mental health outcomes.

Anxiety, depression, suicide, etc are all higher than they've ever been with kids, even though their lives are arguably better than ever before. It just doesn't make sense.

A few key takeaways from the book:

A constant attention on how kids are "feeling" or "thinking" is causing negative outcomes.

Constantly ruminating on your emotions and how you feel negatively impacts your mental health. If all you do is focus on your emotions, you are destined to be anxious or depressed.

We incessantly ask kids how they're feeling, if they're happy, how their mental health is, etc, and this is creating kids who think they're fragile instead of resilient.

Trying to solve every problem for kids has caused a generation who can't do anything for themselves.

We (Gen X) were told to "suck it up" or "you'll live" or "rub some dirt on it" all the time. Many of us came to the conclusion this is "bad parenting" because our feelings were neglected, and we vowed not to do this to our own children.

Because of that, kids immediately over-dramatize everything that happens to them, making mountains out of molehills, and thinking the world must revolve around their emotions and feelings.

You develop confidence and strong mental health by doing things, not by thinking or via therapy.

You can't think your way out of anxiety. You don't gain confidence by analysis of your thoughts or mental health issues.

You gain confidence and eliminate anxiety by doing gradually more difficult tasks, excelling at them, and realizing you are a competent, capable person.

The non-stop attention therapy gives to these small, common emotions we all feel blows them out of proportion to their seriousness (not talking about genuine disorders here, just normal anxieties that millions of people go to therapy to try to avoid).

One of the best ways to decrease your happiness is to chase it.

Our society constantly tells kids they should be "happy" and asks them if they are.

Happiness isn't a state you should be in 24/7. That's not realistic. Joy and bliss aren't permanent states - they are fleeting.

Contentment, stillness, and being even-keeled are much better goals to aim for mentally.

The happiest, most well adjusted kids come from families with loving parents that have strict rules for the household.

This one really set off the confirmation bias in me... I feel really blessed we have 2 well adjusted middle school kids who do great in school, are very respectful and well mannered, and we barely even need to parent them.

But for years, we were very strict with them. Bedtimes, family rules, how we do things, etc. The in-laws and lots of friends thought we were totalitarian.

In reality, we just had high standards. And it's really paying off right now. I found it really interesting that strict rules equals happy kids. Makes sense, though, as kids need to know what their boundaries are.

Constantly surveying school-age kids about their mental health causes more issues than it solves.

Mental health resources is big money. Districts need to validate all the resources allocated towards mental health, and they often do that via surveys.

Asking kids non-stop questions like:

- Have you thought about self harm?
- Have you thought about suicide?
- Have you been so anxious you can't get out of bed?

Etc, etc puts into their heads the idea that themselves, or many of their peers are broken and cannot function properly in the real world.

It normalizes situations that would be incredibly rare at any other time in history.

There's a lot of other takeaways, too, but I'll stop there.

It's a fantastic book. Go pick it up and read it. This isn't an affiliate thing or a promotion thing at all. I just really enjoyed it, and it will further shape the way I parent moving forward.

Be curious and work hard.

Work life balance is shade of black-white and not black and white as people envision, don’t fall into that trap. If you are young, work hard and be curious.

You will enjoy your 30s/40s/50s and so on.

The fall of Europe

In 2008, the EU’s economy was 10% larger than that of the U.S.

Now? The U.S. is 50% larger than the EU!

Europe has been Japanified.

This is the price of being a vassal of the US, which has stymied Europe in many ways:

🔹The real estate bubble and subprime mortgage crisis from Wall Street, which pulled Europe into the scam. Europe never recovered from the Great Financial Crisis of 2008.

🔹Technology: The US made sure that Europe never developed alternatives to the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon - e-commerce and cloud computing, Apple etc.

Europe has also fallen behind in startups, AI, green energy, quantum computing and virtually every critical thing.

🔹The number of European companies in the global Fortune 500 list has dropped dramatically as well

🔹The US bombed countries and forced Europe to accept millions of refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia etc.

🔹Proxy war with Russia has also forced Europe to become dependent on the US for energy. The deindustrialization of EU continues.

The biggest culprits are the ruling class of EU and individual European countries. Incredible traitors who are destroying their own people.

And the average European citizen is so clueless and brainwashed that this collective suicide is just unbelievable.

Dealing with "Coupling" is one of the things that makes SW a genuinely difficult activity. But I think Coupling is at least as big a deal for SW dev teams as it is for the software itself.
