I cried at least five times reading this book. It is like it was written for me. Yeah it's about weightlifting but it's also about learning to take care of yourself and to trust yourself. I love it.

lil live bug in Slack, you love to see it

assuming you were on an NHS waiting list when you left?

The flip side of this is the male author who was asked about his writing routine, and who talked about how much he loved the feeling that he could close his door and then “the day is completely yours” to focus on writing. He had, at the time, two young children… and, of course, a wife

Yeah I woke up a bit too early for the gym and just took a look and now my day is off to a great start 🥰

its just over nine months since i last drank alcohol. nine months! as if my sober self has been gestated, and now born

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

I think for a bit I have been confusing 'being pragmatic' with 'writing pretty suboptimal code so work is finished quicker'

because I am a people pleaser and have a misconception that people (but especially non technical people) are more pleased by stuff being finished quickly than by anything else

every time i go to the US from UK i adore those first 2/3 days when I'm out of the house at 6am like 'wow maybe i have figured it out and i'm a morning person now'

had all sorts of big plans for what I was going to do in the week off before I start my new job (build a server less twitter clone and all ci/cd piplines for it) but in the end I've just been rereading The Pragmatic Programmer for the first time since 2018 and what a bloody great book

don't tell me what I'll be glad about thanks

it has made a massive difference to how i eat, which isn't wholly positive but is in some ways. meds totally changed my life tbh, mostly good but some things are harder

I keep thinking "wow it's great I fixed my relationship with food, now I eat what I want and it's good satisfying stuff" but what actually happened was:

my ADHD got diagnosed, I eat for dopamine much less, plus I now take amphetamines every day which cut my appetite in half.

there's this one period in late december when it's dark when i walk to the gym in the morning AND when i walk home from it an hour later, the day that it's light when i leave....there's nothing like it

i finally understand this. yeah i hope i get one of those in my new job!

hey guess when the clocks are changing!!!!

it is my last day in my job tomorrow! this job happened to coincide with probably the most eventful period of my person life as well as being a pretty wild ride professionally and i am READY to move on to the next chapter. can't wait to experience a whole new set of problems.

I'm confused! Are you recommending git squash?

Thank you!

Developers? What are the tools that make your life easier at the moment? Of any kind? I love recommendations

when will the world realise that i would simply rather die than claim a free case of beer from beer 52

This point in particular is our national mentality and it's pathetic

totally misread this and was INTRIGUED to hear about the dark past Ed Helms has been concealing from the world.

for example? I have never quite got into it but I suspect I need the right episode to hook me in

have you seen the Conor O'Malley AI standup special? I watched it last night (after seeing Friendship in the cinema) and it was extremely funny but also contained some really true stuff!!!

I'm working on part of the codebase that no one has touched since I set it all up two years ago, a greenfield project. getting some genuine pangs of empathy and nostalgia for my former self, who knew everything about how she was going to set things up and build this project exactly right 🥹
