PSA: Windows update apparently bricked my PC. The fans spin at max after boot, but it never even gets to the bios. This seems to be a common issue, so avoid updating for now.

🧵1/4 I'm a Go player (the ancient Chinese board game). It's a wonderfully deep game and it forces you to train your mind in many ways. These lessons often apply to the rest of life and maybe I'll share more of them later.

🧵3/4 If I assign a value to the opponent's move and say it's bad, it is incredibly likely I make an even bigger mistake in response, trying to take advantage of it - especially if the original move indeed wasn't a mistake.

🧵4/4 Okay, relating to real life: I don't know if another person made a mistake. I don't have all of the context and I'm not smarter or better than everyone else in everything. What we can know is the current situation and we can figure out how to proceed. Don't let your ego be an obstacle.

🧵2/4 Today however, there's one specific lesson on my mind: I don't know what the best move is. I don't know if the opponent's move is good or bad. I just have to accept what's on the board and continue from there.

The only reason to post on LinkedIn is to market yourself and then people react to each other in the hopes of marketing themselves. It's such a weird community.

1/5 Inspired by @conrad.cafe, I'll also post about my experience getting diagnosed for ADHD. I've always been a talented kid, which means I never had to study in school. I usually spent the time in class either attempting to sleep or learning programming on my laptop.

4/5 After trying *everything* within the six years I've been working, I finally decided it's time to listen to my psychiatrist's idea and go through the ADHD diagnosis. The process went smoothly and I got the medication. It took effect within an hour and turned my whole world upside down.

5/5 Suddenly the noise in my head is gone. Suddenly I can talk to people openly. I can target my attention to things other than my special interests. I *want* to do things. These are all things professionals have been trying to treat from the lens of depression, but apparently it was ADHD all along.

2/5 I could remember what I heard in class, so I did well. Unfortunately, this ability started to get less and less relevant as I grew older. I started to flunk classes in high school if I wasn't lucky enough to get a teacher who explained the subject well. Still, I managed to graduate.

3/5 Shit hit the fan in work life. Given an interesting problem and a good day, I'm very efficient. Given a bad day, I can't get anything done. Given a boring or simple task, I can't get anything done. I've been struggling with feeling like I'm just inferior to everyone else at work.

I like to believe the information looks at me the same way McConaughey did in Interstellar when I'm using the Confluence search

Black holes swallow all information you feed into them. But information can't be destroyed, instead the information is slowly emitted as hawking radiation, impossible to reconstruct in practice but technically there. This makes them just like Atlassian Confluence

I feel like cool is the enemy of good in software development. It is difficult to get yourself to finish and polish the boring core features of a program, when you could add something cool (*cough*, Logseq). So many open source programs fall into this trap, being cool but seldom good.

Pivoted to a simple incremental game to get practice in before making the game I actually want to make. This might become quite a fun dopamine mill. :D

Rabbit hole: 1. Start making a game. 2. Decide to script it with lua for easy moddability. 3. Realize I now need to describe the UI in lua too, 4. Realize no existing GUI library does quite what I want and plays well with lua. 5. Make my own.

Another addition to the "domain registrars you should never use" list.

itch.io@itch.io

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
