Normal dude attending a protest because he is upset about the ICE incidents & the federal dishonesty around them, surrounded by very angry members of the far left: look im with you guys but uh are we sure about the whole abolishing borders &establishing a communist state thing..?

@zencephalon Rad! Been printing anything fun lately?

[light @lightxvision]

Garden feels the most resonant out of these three & I think it’s because I’m inspired by the act of gardening AND it is a meaningful “project”. Gaming & skiing are both wonderful+joyful activities but they feel less meaning-giving to me since they aren’t really creating something

[light @lightxvision]

Coding is cool, lifting is cool, hiking is cool, & I do often enjoy them in the moment, but my main drivers are mostly finish project/get better job/get stronger/summit mountain. Maybe I should start gaming more. Ski season is coming up. I wish I had a garden to putter around in

Had a weird slow motion crash out the other afternoon and a big thing surfaced for me: I feel a big lack of things in my life where I’m inspired to do the thing itself rather than just the goal that doing that thing achieves.

So so funny to me how almost every single Subaru I see driving around makes That One Noise

twitter but the followers of every account get a percentage of the account's monetization proportional to how early they followed them

[ben hylak @benhylak]

i always follow these kinds of accounts back. they're special. little seedlings.

most never blossom. but some do.

@joodalooped Go, C#, this one called Shplait that one of my courses used (functional-ish, lot of cool pattern matching stuff), I enjoyed the little bit of elixir I messed with a while back. The one big-ish js project I did I found the type system annoying but everything else was cool

[light @lightxvision]

Need to get a job that pays better than $20/hr asap (ideally one in IT/swe) and trying to gauge how cooked I am, would really appreciate any feedback (or pointers on getting less cooked):
- 2 sems left in cs degree
- 2yrs experience doing helpdesk/sysadmin (pt student employee)

@zencephalon What does learning taste look like for you?

[light @lightxvision]

How do all you devs out there balance using ai to make stuff quickly&effectively with progressing Ur coding skills? Or is the thought basically that programming chops are irrelevant now (beyond some baseline) & one should just let ai handle that, & focus on system design stuff?

[light @lightxvision]

@joodalooped For specific tech skills, hard to say. I have a good foundation for algos/ds as well as computer networks (protocols, troubleshooting, general familiarity and intuition). But not an expert or exceptionally proficient in a specific framework or language.

@__drewface B fo sho, cards don't feel differentiated enough in A

@anonhashira No chest pain W

@zencephalon This is beautiful. Covering the earth in blessings. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[light @lightxvision]

@zencephalon I gotta read it!!! Ok it’s going to top of list

[light @lightxvision]

Day 1 of trying Jhana yesterday. Watched an intro video then sat for 16min focusing on hands. They felt really warm &fuzzy&good & got some waves of warmth into my body, but that was the extent of the short session. Is there a preference for initial focus on body vs metta/breath?

[light @lightxvision]

Happy fall, time to break out the cinnazyn and Vince Guaraldi

[light @lightxvision]

@joodalooped Maybe for someone with 0/10 or 1/10 agency. I think someone with 4/10 agency, or someone who was high agency then got depressed/burnt-out, would absolutely seek to increase/regain agency though

[light @lightxvision]

I think there probably a pretty big market out there for “rehabbing agency” services/courses. Which is slightly funny & ironic to me because “sign up for my program to regain agency” has a pretty low-agency ring to it.
