After the vibecamp buzz dies down, I will still be here, posting about my frog counting project, about grappling our future together with ai and llms (esp positive visions of the future and how to get there!), maybe a bit about what it is like to be a caretaker (TBD), and occasionally I may weigh in with my opinions on random topics - earnestly but also held lightly (I believe this falls in the realm of shitposting??)
Second, and do I thought I'd be able to better anticipate it this year, I'd adjusted my expectations, but lol nope, it just hit in a new and different way.
I think it probably has to do with needing to make some pretty significant adjustments to the way I pick my main project back up that I'd been putting off.
Idk just processing live now, but maybe it's not even vc itself, rather that I got enough time away from the project that I'm able to come back having gotten out of the narrow day-to-day and am returning with a broader perspective on where I need to shift focus - areas that i'd been resisting looking at for a while now.
post-@vibecamp_ campfire check-in: how is everyone doing settling back into the default world? notice anything interesting about your life as a result of the contrast?
I have been fighting some sort of shock or daze or lethargy over the past few days since returning to the usual day-to-day, and am finding it very difficult to do work or really anything at all that requires planning.
I've been more active on this site than ever before (and this could be a cause although I suspect this is minor).
I'll be able to say more once I get out of this mode, but I think it probably means I'm not aligned, not working on the real aspects of the problem.
I've been taking a bit more time than usual to step back and reflect on this and clarifying my goals.
Curious if anyone else feels like this.
I experience Vibecamp as a situational art Happening, as a Debordian Situation, a postironic return to sincerity in a bitterly entrenched agitprop world. I will seek to claw the authenticity from each of your souls, supping on the sweet marrow and bringing you back into The Real.
Can you steelman both sides? Or, can you work through it with someone you trust to hold you to your higher principles? Or, can you first think through and resolve the meta of why you would not trust yourself in this regard? Earning trust in oneself is no different from earning it from another, through the accumulation of experience, can you identify a smaller step to take on the edge but still within your realm of trust that can help it grow?
