Quit at lvl 30. It was actually very satisfying to enjoy the quiet after the experience.
defart··on Being overweight overtakes tobacco smoking as the leading disease risk factor
Just went a month without cigarettes today, yay! Still overweight :(
defart··on Dickies moving its headquarters from Texas to California
Bit of a Dickies move, if you ask me..
defart··on ‘With brain preservation, nobody has to die’
A fun way to die, would be to transition digitally into the cloud as data for some sort of future "humanity LLM" that would be inquired in the future. The Council of Elders
defart··on BirdLingo: A birdsong learning game
Somehow i feel that Birdolingo would be a better name :)
defart··on How to Drop Out (2004)
Honestly i stopped reading after "organic eggs from a dumpster" as this seems to be just one more person that is "out of the system" by just parasiting on the system itself. Like many "anarcho" punks i have personally met they really do not have an issue thinking that they are out of the system while living off its infrastructure and using its emergency rooms when needed. Im all for a different lifestyle and a better society ( whatever that might mean to you) but most of these approaches are just childish

Happy new year from Croatia!
defart··on Evolving the Infinite Canvas
You are usually not dropped in the middle of a spreadsheet with infinite rows/cols in each direction. You start at topleft which makes navigating much less 'exploratory'
defart··on Is Silicon Valley’s golden era coming to an end?
“Americans don’t really like big things – people get worried about concentrated power,” O’Mara said.

Hmmm....Okay? (not American)

defart··on Ask HN: Do you *love* your job?
Maybe a naive approach but if you pull it off it works. You like to solve problems, right? Treat the process as a problem. Treat it as set of restrictions you must work with and conciously try to maximise your skill at mitigating the issues that annoy you.

personally i think devs in the usual scrum process can do most for themselves in actively participating is user story/ticket (re)formation during one of the (too many) meetings you have. Creating well crafted chunks of work make for a very perceptible sense of "joy" you want to find during programming and avoiding, at least in my experience.

Try to fix it if you don't like it cause you're probably going to suffer through it either way.

Sometimes drinking the scrum/agile du jour kool aid gives you a sense of credibility rather than just rebeling silentlyagainst it you get some tools to try to modify into something more enjoyable and sensible

defart··on How to Build a Notion Clone with Strapi v4 and Next.js (Part 1 of 2)
Worked at a place that was doing this (creating a notion clone with some specific functionalities).

The hardest/most unstable part was getting a solid WYSIWYG editor experience with a bunch of different media handling. The backend part seemed fairly trivial in comparison, so I'm not sure why would this be used to showcase strapi.
