Next house I get will need a room just for all the cardboard boxes I keep

@mrmcplad Should be easy enough to replicate and get peer reviewed

Had a fever today so I ate some ice cream and it went away. Does science know about this?

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

@mrmcplad I have an album in the photos app that I put my best/favorites ones into

20mo woke up at 3:30am. I kept telling her “it’s time to go back to sleep” and she’d just say “no thank you”

One question on our peer reviews is "What could I have done differently?" the answer is "everything."

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

@mrmcplad Maybe they run it through TurnItIn to check for plagiarism

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

Will anyone notice if I give the same peer reviews I did last year?

Wisdom from my 6yo: “Sometimes things aren’t what they look or sound like. But a fire tornado is exactly what it sounds like.”

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

@marcpalmerdev Yeah I get that for sure. At the point I’m at, it’s easy to try to put everything in before anyone has even used it yet.

I’ve heard advice for indie devs to make app that solves a problem you have. I’m having trouble with that. I get excited, start going, but it seems like my problems change or go away before I finish the app and I lose interest. Have I just not found the right problem to solve?

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

@mattcassinelli That's an interesting framing I haven't considered before. I think I need to be looking more broadly, instead of how can this solve it for me, how can it just solve the problem in general, for others too.

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

@marcpalmerdev That makes a lot of sense. I think that's the part I'm struggling with—I lose motivation partly because I haven't found the right motivation for me. Need to be better about thinking about what would be useful for other people too and not just me.

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

Anyway, this thread probably should've been a rambling blog post...maybe I'll do that too.

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

Workflows, perspectives, philosophies, etc. can change a lot. How do you handle it when those changes don't align well with your projects anymore? I seem to lose interest so quickly. Love of coding only gets me so far. Could be I'm not tackling the right sized problems?

[Sam Warnick @samwarnick]

It was a nice cool morning so I went for a run and went 10 miles. Farthest I’ve run since 2019. I’ll try to go farther one of these days. In the meantime I’ll just keep carbo loading just in case.

@xxcatskullxx Are you using bootcamp to install?
